00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.580
So<00:00:00.400><c> when</c><00:00:00.560><c> we</c><00:00:00.720><c> left</c><00:00:00.920><c> Adam</c><00:00:01.219><c> and</c><00:00:01.500><c> Eve</c><00:00:01.560><c> in</c><00:00:01.720><c> verse</c><00:00:02.040><c> 6,</c>

00:00:02.879 --> 00:00:05.580
they<00:00:02.980><c> had</c><00:00:03.240><c> just</c><00:00:03.600><c> finished</c><00:00:04.240><c> partaking</c><00:00:04.940><c> of</c><00:00:05.240><c> the</c><00:00:05.459><c> fruit</c>

00:00:05.580 --> 00:00:07.839
that<00:00:05.719><c> they</c><00:00:05.860><c> were</c><00:00:06.059><c> instructed</c><00:00:06.400><c> not</c><00:00:06.700><c> to</c><00:00:06.879><c> eat</c><00:00:07.040><c> from.</c>

00:00:08.439 --> 00:00:10.140
But<00:00:08.619><c> just</c><00:00:08.820><c> imagine</c><00:00:09.179><c> the</c><00:00:09.419><c> scene</c><00:00:09.580><c> for</c><00:00:09.820><c> a</c><00:00:09.960><c> moment</c>

00:00:10.140 --> 00:00:12.279
of<00:00:10.300><c> how</c><00:00:10.419><c> that</c><00:00:10.560><c> would</c><00:00:10.759><c> have</c><00:00:10.939><c> transpired,</c>

00:00:12.539 --> 00:00:14.300
that<00:00:12.720><c> Eve</c><00:00:13.019><c> being</c><00:00:13.320><c> convinced</c><00:00:13.779><c> in</c><00:00:13.900><c> her</c><00:00:14.119><c> mind</c>

00:00:14.300 --> 00:00:16.440
that<00:00:14.500><c> something</c><00:00:14.800><c> good</c><00:00:15.080><c> would</c><00:00:15.400><c> come</c><00:00:15.720><c> of</c><00:00:15.880><c> this,</c>

00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:18.579
reaches<00:00:17.019><c> forth</c><00:00:17.420><c> her</c><00:00:17.620><c> hand</c><00:00:17.739><c> and</c><00:00:17.859><c> you</c><00:00:18.000><c> can</c><00:00:18.260><c> imagine</c>

00:00:18.579 --> 00:00:19.780
tentatively<00:00:19.100><c> reaching</c><00:00:19.480><c> out,</c>

00:00:19.800 --> 00:00:21.460
because<00:00:20.019><c> she</c><00:00:20.179><c> was</c><00:00:20.379><c> instructed</c><00:00:20.760><c> by</c><00:00:21.100><c> Adam</c>

00:00:21.460 --> 00:00:24.699
that<00:00:22.000><c> if</c><00:00:22.160><c> she</c><00:00:22.399><c> touched</c><00:00:22.719><c> it</c><00:00:22.940><c> even,</c><00:00:23.320><c> that</c><00:00:23.440><c> she</c><00:00:23.600><c> would</c><00:00:23.839><c> die.</c>

00:00:25.019 --> 00:00:29.059
And<00:00:25.239><c> so</c><00:00:25.440><c> tentatively</c><00:00:25.920><c> reaching</c><00:00:26.320><c> out,</c><00:00:27.579><c> touching</c><00:00:27.839><c> that</c><00:00:28.179><c> fruit,</c>

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:33.560
nothing<00:00:30.359><c> happened,</c><00:00:31.980><c> she</c><00:00:32.140><c> didn't</c><00:00:32.399><c> die.</c>

00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:36.119
Perhaps<00:00:34.259><c> now</c><00:00:34.539><c> she</c><00:00:34.679><c> would</c><00:00:34.840><c> have</c><00:00:34.939><c> been</c><00:00:35.060><c> a</c><00:00:35.159><c> little</c><00:00:35.320><c> bit</c><00:00:35.420><c> more</c><00:00:35.740><c> confident</c>

00:00:36.119 --> 00:00:37.899
in<00:00:36.359><c> the</c><00:00:36.520><c> words</c><00:00:36.700><c> of</c><00:00:36.899><c> the</c><00:00:37.079><c> serpent.</c>

00:00:37.939 --> 00:00:41.179
And<00:00:38.100><c> so</c><00:00:38.179><c> she</c><00:00:38.359><c> reaches</c><00:00:38.619><c> out</c><00:00:38.880><c> fully</c><00:00:39.140><c> and</c><00:00:39.380><c> grasps</c><00:00:39.740><c> hold</c><00:00:39.840><c> of</c><00:00:40.000><c> that</c><00:00:40.259><c> fruit</c>

00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:45.240
and<00:00:41.960><c> eats</c><00:00:42.179><c> it,</c><00:00:44.060><c> waits</c><00:00:44.200><c> for</c><00:00:44.439><c> something</c><00:00:44.700><c> to</c><00:00:44.960><c> happen,</c>

00:00:45.420 --> 00:00:47.460
but<00:00:46.119><c> nothing</c><00:00:46.500><c> happens.</c>

00:00:48.020 --> 00:00:50.560
Now<00:00:48.299><c> she's</c><00:00:48.640><c> fully</c><00:00:48.960><c> convinced</c><00:00:49.439><c> of</c><00:00:49.600><c> what</c><00:00:49.780><c> the</c><00:00:49.979><c> serpent</c><00:00:50.200><c> has</c><00:00:50.479><c> said</c>

00:00:50.560 --> 00:00:52.640
and<00:00:50.700><c> she</c><00:00:50.939><c> turns</c><00:00:51.280><c> to</c><00:00:51.500><c> her</c><00:00:51.679><c> husband,</c>

00:00:52.799 --> 00:00:55.640
who<00:00:52.979><c> presumably</c><00:00:53.479><c> was</c><00:00:53.740><c> with</c><00:00:53.960><c> her</c><00:00:54.100><c> and</c><00:00:54.219><c> gives</c><00:00:54.500><c> him</c><00:00:55.119><c> the</c><00:00:55.500><c> fruit</c>

00:00:55.640 --> 00:00:56.060
as<00:00:55.920><c> well</c>

00:00:56.060 --> 00:00:59.740
and<00:00:56.240><c> he,</c><00:00:56.719><c> full</c><00:00:56.899><c> knowing</c><00:00:57.280><c> what</c><00:00:57.960><c> the</c><00:00:58.299><c> consequence</c><00:00:58.679><c> would</c><00:00:58.960><c> be,</c>

00:00:59.740 --> 00:01:01.259
ate<00:01:00.060><c> of</c><00:01:00.219><c> that</c><00:01:00.479><c> fruit.</c>

00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:03.240
Both<00:01:02.039><c> of</c><00:01:02.240><c> them</c><00:01:02.340><c> did</c><00:01:02.539><c> the</c><00:01:02.719><c> wrong</c><00:01:02.979><c> thing</c>

00:01:03.240 --> 00:01:04.359
as<00:01:03.380><c> we've</c><00:01:03.619><c> already</c><00:01:03.859><c> considered,</c>

00:01:04.840 --> 00:01:08.340
but<00:01:04.980><c> they</c><00:01:05.159><c> had</c><00:01:05.439><c> different</c><00:01:05.840><c> reasons</c><00:01:06.420><c> for</c><00:01:06.760><c> doing</c><00:01:06.959><c> the</c><00:01:07.159><c> wrong</c><00:01:07.359><c> thing.</c>

00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:09.680
Eve<00:01:08.480><c> was</c><00:01:08.780><c> deceived</c><00:01:09.120><c> into</c><00:01:09.420><c> thinking</c>

00:01:09.680 --> 00:01:12.480
that<00:01:10.239><c> angelic</c><00:01:10.719><c> equality</c><00:01:11.140><c> would</c><00:01:11.379><c> be</c><00:01:11.599><c> attained.</c>

00:01:13.099 --> 00:01:17.239
Adam<00:01:13.379><c> presumably</c><00:01:13.959><c> preferred</c><00:01:14.439><c> his</c><00:01:14.700><c> wife</c><00:01:15.159><c> over</c><00:01:16.120><c> God,</c>

00:01:17.420 --> 00:01:19.620
knowing<00:01:17.719><c> that</c><00:01:18.040><c> death</c><00:01:18.219><c> would</c><00:01:18.480><c> ensue,</c>

00:01:19.959 --> 00:01:21.379
but<00:01:20.099><c> weighing</c><00:01:20.299><c> it</c><00:01:20.519><c> out</c><00:01:20.640><c> in</c><00:01:20.780><c> his</c><00:01:20.980><c> own</c><00:01:21.200><c> mind</c>

00:01:21.379 --> 00:01:24.019
and<00:01:21.620><c> concluding</c><00:01:22.060><c> that</c><00:01:22.620><c> this</c><00:01:23.120><c> was</c><00:01:23.359><c> worth</c><00:01:23.599><c> it.</c>

00:01:24.280 --> 00:01:27.239
He<00:01:24.459><c> was</c><00:01:24.680><c> going</c><00:01:24.859><c> to</c><00:01:25.040><c> move</c><00:01:25.200><c> forward</c><00:01:25.519><c> and</c><00:01:25.739><c> partake</c><00:01:26.140><c> of</c><00:01:26.280><c> the</c><00:01:26.519><c> fruit.</c>

00:01:27.439 --> 00:01:29.560
So<00:01:27.879><c> how</c><00:01:28.060><c> do</c><00:01:28.180><c> they</c><00:01:28.340><c> respond</c><00:01:28.799><c> at</c><00:01:28.980><c> this</c><00:01:29.280><c> point?</c>

00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:31.159
That's<00:01:30.260><c> what</c><00:01:30.359><c> we're</c><00:01:30.459><c> gonna</c><00:01:30.579><c> take</c><00:01:30.819><c> a</c><00:01:30.920><c> look</c><00:01:31.060><c> at.</c>

00:01:31.200 --> 00:01:32.700
What<00:01:31.299><c> was</c><00:01:31.500><c> their</c><00:01:31.659><c> response</c><00:01:32.159><c> to</c><00:01:32.480><c> sin?</c>

00:01:33.200 --> 00:01:34.200
How<00:01:33.420><c> did</c><00:01:33.560><c> they</c><00:01:33.780><c> repent?</c>

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:35.819
Was<00:01:34.560><c> it</c><00:01:34.900><c> acceptable?</c>

00:01:36.219 --> 00:01:37.900
And<00:01:36.400><c> what</c><00:01:36.579><c> was</c><00:01:36.819><c> the</c><00:01:37.120><c> result?</c>

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:39.719
So<00:01:38.379><c> what</c><00:01:38.620><c> happens</c><00:01:38.959><c> right</c><00:01:39.260><c> after</c><00:01:39.560><c> this?</c>

00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:42.239
I<00:01:39.799><c> mean,</c><00:01:40.379><c> did</c><00:01:40.480><c> their</c><00:01:40.739><c> IQ</c><00:01:41.040><c> increase</c><00:01:41.659><c> tremendously?</c>

00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:44.359
Did<00:01:42.480><c> they</c><00:01:42.680><c> just</c><00:01:42.920><c> become</c><00:01:43.180><c> like</c><00:01:43.599><c> geniuses</c>

00:01:44.359 --> 00:01:46.819
as<00:01:44.719><c> a</c><00:01:45.000><c> result</c><00:01:45.219><c> of</c><00:01:45.400><c> eating</c><00:01:45.620><c> the</c><00:01:45.939><c> tree</c><00:01:46.079><c> of</c><00:01:46.280><c> knowledge</c><00:01:46.519><c> of</c><00:01:46.700><c> good</c>

00:01:46.819 --> 00:01:47.659
and<00:01:47.000><c> evil?</c>

00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:50.219
Well,<00:01:48.900><c> quite</c><00:01:49.040><c> the</c><00:01:49.299><c> contrary.</c>

00:01:50.340 --> 00:01:52.319
What<00:01:50.519><c> do</c><00:01:50.620><c> we</c><00:01:50.780><c> find</c><00:01:50.980><c> in</c><00:01:51.159><c> verse</c><00:01:51.420><c> seven?</c>

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:54.680
Well,<00:01:53.120><c> the</c><00:01:53.239><c> eyes</c><00:01:53.480><c> of</c><00:01:53.659><c> both</c><00:01:53.840><c> of</c><00:01:54.000><c> them</c><00:01:54.120><c> were</c><00:01:54.400><c> open.</c>

00:01:54.719 --> 00:01:56.260
That's<00:01:54.980><c> what</c><00:01:55.099><c> the</c><00:01:55.299><c> serpent</c><00:01:55.519><c> said,</c><00:01:55.900><c> right?</c>

00:01:56.260 --> 00:01:58.519
Your<00:01:56.560><c> eyes</c><00:01:56.920><c> will</c><00:01:57.120><c> be</c><00:01:57.340><c> opened.</c>

00:01:58.939 --> 00:02:00.780
And<00:01:59.180><c> they</c><00:01:59.299><c> knew</c><00:01:59.439><c> that</c><00:01:59.579><c> they</c><00:01:59.680><c> were</c><00:01:59.879><c> naked.</c>

00:02:02.099 --> 00:02:04.280
Well,<00:02:02.260><c> that's</c><00:02:02.439><c> not</c><00:02:02.659><c> the</c><00:02:02.900><c> promise</c><00:02:03.060><c> that</c><00:02:03.280><c> they</c><00:02:03.459><c> had.</c>

00:02:04.500 --> 00:02:05.700
The<00:02:04.719><c> promise</c><00:02:05.040><c> of</c><00:02:05.340><c> fulfillment,</c>

00:02:05.859 --> 00:02:08.159
the<00:02:05.980><c> promise</c><00:02:06.280><c> of</c><00:02:06.519><c> equality</c><00:02:06.879><c> with</c><00:02:07.120><c> the</c><00:02:07.340><c> angels.</c>

00:02:10.219 --> 00:02:12.639
that<00:02:10.400><c> they</c><00:02:10.560><c> had</c><00:02:10.680><c> really</c><00:02:11.000><c> gained</c><00:02:11.219><c> at</c><00:02:11.439><c> this</c><00:02:11.740><c> point</c>

00:02:12.759 --> 00:02:15.780
was<00:02:13.240><c> the</c><00:02:13.479><c> knowledge</c><00:02:13.759><c> now</c><00:02:14.000><c> that</c><00:02:14.199><c> God</c><00:02:14.479><c> was</c><00:02:14.740><c> good</c>

00:02:15.900 --> 00:02:17.800
and<00:02:16.379><c> that</c><00:02:16.520><c> they</c><00:02:16.719><c> were</c><00:02:16.919><c> evil.</c>

00:02:18.680 --> 00:02:20.919
And<00:02:19.000><c> now</c><00:02:19.120><c> what</c><00:02:19.240><c> they</c><00:02:19.500><c> attempt</c><00:02:19.759><c> to</c><00:02:20.000><c> do</c>

00:02:21.020 --> 00:02:23.520
is<00:02:21.259><c> they</c><00:02:21.500><c> attempt</c><00:02:21.740><c> to</c><00:02:21.960><c> hide</c><00:02:22.180><c> that,</c>

00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.539

00:02:28.620 --> 00:02:30.300
because<00:02:28.939><c> they're</c><00:02:29.240><c> embarrassed</c>

00:02:30.439 --> 00:02:32.520

00:02:35.680 --> 00:02:38.039
And<00:02:35.960><c> so</c><00:02:36.080><c> this</c><00:02:36.300><c> was</c><00:02:36.500><c> the</c><00:02:36.740><c> first</c><00:02:36.979><c> reaction</c>

00:02:41.500 --> 00:02:43.860
And<00:02:41.620><c> we</c><00:02:41.740><c> know</c><00:02:41.919><c> that</c><00:02:42.139><c> no</c><00:02:42.419><c> sooner</c><00:02:42.680><c> do</c><00:02:42.840><c> they</c><00:02:43.020><c> do</c><00:02:43.219><c> this</c>

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:50.060
In<00:02:49.259><c> the</c><00:02:49.500><c> cool</c><00:02:49.639><c> of</c><00:02:49.819><c> the</c><00:02:49.979><c> day,</c>

00:02:50.099 --> 00:02:52.419
and<00:02:50.240><c> that</c><00:02:50.379><c> word</c><00:02:50.599><c> cool</c><00:02:50.900><c> is</c><00:02:51.120><c> the</c><00:02:51.259><c> word</c><00:02:51.479><c> ruach.</c>

00:02:52.500 --> 00:02:53.759
It's<00:02:52.780><c> the</c><00:02:52.900><c> same</c><00:02:53.060><c> word</c><00:02:53.240><c> for</c><00:02:53.560><c> spirit</c>

00:02:53.759 --> 00:02:55.259
that<00:02:53.939><c> God</c><00:02:54.240><c> breathed</c><00:02:54.740><c> into</c><00:02:55.000><c> man</c>

00:02:55.259 --> 00:02:57.280
and<00:02:55.319><c> he</c><00:02:55.439><c> became</c><00:02:55.800><c> a</c><00:02:56.020><c> living</c><00:02:56.259><c> soul.</c>

00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:01.340
It's<00:02:57.620><c> this</c><00:02:58.000><c> wind</c><00:02:58.479><c> that</c><00:02:59.159><c> sometimes</c><00:02:59.659><c> occurs</c><00:03:00.080><c> in</c><00:03:00.259><c> the</c><00:03:00.439><c> evening.</c>

00:03:01.520 --> 00:03:03.139
So<00:03:01.680><c> it's</c><00:03:01.939><c> indicative</c><00:03:02.240><c> of</c><00:03:02.460><c> the</c><00:03:02.699><c> evening</c><00:03:02.939><c> time,</c>

00:03:05.699 --> 00:03:06.900
And<00:03:05.879><c> so</c><00:03:06.000><c> that</c><00:03:06.259><c> evening</c><00:03:06.599><c> time,</c>

00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:07.819

00:03:08.060 --> 00:03:11.180
perhaps<00:03:08.340><c> indicative</c><00:03:08.780><c> of</c><00:03:09.020><c> the</c><00:03:09.240><c> time</c><00:03:09.860><c> of</c><00:03:10.259><c> judgment</c>

00:03:11.180 --> 00:03:12.479
of<00:03:11.419><c> when</c><00:03:11.599><c> there</c><00:03:11.740><c> would</c><00:03:11.879><c> be</c><00:03:12.000><c> a</c><00:03:12.139><c> rendering</c>

00:03:12.479 --> 00:03:16.099
according<00:03:12.939><c> to</c><00:03:13.139><c> their</c><00:03:13.379><c> works</c><00:03:13.800><c> of</c><00:03:14.539><c> what</c><00:03:14.759><c> they</c><00:03:14.919><c> had</c><00:03:15.139><c> done.</c>

00:03:16.639 --> 00:03:20.120
And<00:03:17.120><c> they're</c><00:03:17.360><c> compelled</c><00:03:17.699><c> to</c><00:03:17.939><c> hide,</c><00:03:18.840><c> aren't</c><00:03:19.020><c> they?</c>

00:03:20.659 --> 00:03:23.400
And<00:03:20.979><c> so</c><00:03:21.080><c> when</c><00:03:21.219><c> you</c><00:03:21.439><c> summarize</c><00:03:21.800><c> the</c><00:03:22.080><c> initial</c><00:03:22.340><c> result,</c>

00:03:23.460 --> 00:03:26.460
what<00:03:23.900><c> was</c><00:03:24.219><c> it</c><00:03:24.340><c> that</c><00:03:24.439><c> they</c><00:03:24.699><c> gained</c><00:03:24.919><c> from</c><00:03:25.180><c> eating</c><00:03:25.379><c> the</c><00:03:25.699><c> tree?</c>

00:03:26.580 --> 00:03:28.360
They<00:03:26.840><c> gained</c><00:03:26.979><c> the</c><00:03:27.199><c> knowledge</c><00:03:27.479><c> that</c><00:03:27.699><c> God</c><00:03:27.939><c> was</c><00:03:28.159><c> good</c>

00:03:28.360 --> 00:03:29.340
and<00:03:28.520><c> that</c><00:03:28.620><c> they</c><00:03:28.800><c> were</c><00:03:29.000><c> evil.</c>

00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:31.659
And<00:03:29.819><c> this</c><00:03:30.020><c> knowledge</c><00:03:30.379><c> brought</c><00:03:30.680><c> about</c><00:03:31.099><c> a</c><00:03:31.419><c> shame</c>

00:03:31.659 --> 00:03:33.460
that<00:03:31.819><c> they</c><00:03:32.099><c> tried</c><00:03:32.280><c> to</c><00:03:32.539><c> hide.</c>

00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:36.719
And<00:03:34.139><c> when</c><00:03:34.319><c> God</c><00:03:34.599><c> himself</c><00:03:35.219><c> in</c><00:03:35.759><c> the</c><00:03:35.979><c> form</c><00:03:36.120><c> of</c><00:03:36.300><c> the</c><00:03:36.520><c> angel,</c>

00:03:36.819 --> 00:03:39.199
the<00:03:36.979><c> Yahweh</c><00:03:37.360><c> angel</c><00:03:38.020><c> appears</c><00:03:38.879><c> to</c><00:03:39.080><c> him</c>

00:03:39.199 --> 00:03:41.060
and<00:03:39.340><c> they</c><00:03:39.560><c> see</c><00:03:39.719><c> his</c><00:03:40.039><c> presence,</c>

00:03:41.419 --> 00:03:43.879
they're<00:03:41.560><c> led</c><00:03:41.699><c> to</c><00:03:41.979><c> flee</c><00:03:42.159><c> away</c><00:03:42.379><c> and</c><00:03:42.560><c> run</c><00:03:42.759><c> from</c><00:03:42.979><c> God.</c>

00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:46.780
And<00:03:44.740><c> it's</c><00:03:44.860><c> really</c><00:03:45.080><c> no</c><00:03:45.340><c> different</c><00:03:45.620><c> for</c><00:03:45.840><c> us,</c><00:03:46.180><c> is</c><00:03:46.280><c> it?</c>

00:03:47.020 --> 00:03:48.639
When<00:03:47.259><c> we</c><00:03:47.439><c> do</c><00:03:47.620><c> the</c><00:03:47.840><c> wrong</c><00:03:48.060><c> thing,</c>

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:49.960
it's<00:03:49.539><c> embarrassing.</c>

00:03:50.000 --> 00:03:52.520
We<00:03:50.120><c> don't</c><00:03:50.280><c> want</c><00:03:50.539><c> anybody</c><00:03:50.900><c> else</c><00:03:51.240><c> to</c><00:03:51.479><c> find</c><00:03:51.659><c> out</c><00:03:51.900><c> about</c><00:03:52.120><c> it.</c>

In<00:03:52.840><c> fact,</c><00:03:53.099><c> we</c><00:03:53.280><c> try</c><00:03:53.479><c> to</c><00:03:53.680><c> hide</c><00:03:53.819><c> it</c><00:03:54.280><c> from</c><00:03:54.460><c> other</c><00:03:54.699><c> people.</c>

00:03:57.419 --> 00:04:00.340
that<00:03:57.539><c> would</c><00:03:57.780><c> be</c><00:03:58.439><c> embarrassing,</c><00:03:59.180><c> wouldn't</c><00:03:59.300><c> it?</c>

00:04:00.439 --> 00:04:01.960
Christ<00:04:00.740><c> tells</c><00:04:01.000><c> us</c><00:04:01.219><c> that</c><00:04:01.419><c> all</c><00:04:01.560><c> those</c><00:04:01.780><c> things</c>

00:04:06.479 --> 00:04:08.979
But<00:04:06.659><c> we</c><00:04:06.879><c> try</c><00:04:07.039><c> to</c><00:04:07.219><c> hide</c><00:04:07.360><c> the</c><00:04:07.580><c> things</c><00:04:07.759><c> that</c><00:04:08.000><c> we</c><00:04:08.199><c> do.</c>

00:04:09.759 --> 00:04:12.860
You<00:04:09.879><c> know,</c><00:04:09.960><c> I</c><00:04:10.080><c> learn</c><00:04:10.199><c> a</c><00:04:10.379><c> lot</c><00:04:10.539><c> from</c><00:04:10.819><c> watching</c><00:04:11.159><c> my</c><00:04:11.979><c> children</c><00:04:12.379><c> operate.</c>

00:04:13.259 --> 00:04:14.719
Me<00:04:13.259><c> and</c><00:04:13.719><c> Caleb</c><00:04:13.900><c> were</c><00:04:14.099><c> talking</c><00:04:14.340><c> about</c><00:04:14.659><c> it</c>

I<00:04:18.639><c> would</c><00:04:18.819><c> put</c><00:04:19.040><c> forward,</c><00:04:19.399><c> has</c><00:04:19.420><c> never</c><00:04:19.680><c> had</c><00:04:19.939><c> children.</c>

00:04:20.339 --> 00:04:22.180
Because<00:04:21.139><c> that</c><00:04:21.480><c> kind</c><00:04:21.680><c> of</c><00:04:21.959><c> clears</c>

00:04:22.180 --> 00:04:24.519
that<00:04:22.560><c> misconception</c><00:04:23.139><c> up</c><00:04:23.379><c> real</c><00:04:23.699><c> quick.</c>

00:04:24.639 --> 00:04:28.199
Because<00:04:24.899><c> kids</c><00:04:25.180><c> are</c><00:04:25.420><c> just</c><00:04:25.699><c> like</c><00:04:26.360><c> unbridled</c><00:04:27.000><c> human</c><00:04:27.259><c> nature.</c>

00:04:28.540 --> 00:04:29.439
And<00:04:28.699><c> sometimes</c><00:04:29.000><c> we</c><00:04:29.160><c> might</c><00:04:29.300><c> say,</c>

00:04:29.699 --> 00:04:31.519
well,<00:04:29.699><c> they're</c><00:04:29.800><c> not</c><00:04:30.139><c> smart</c><00:04:30.399><c> enough</c><00:04:30.639><c> yet</c><00:04:30.839><c> to</c><00:04:31.040><c> hide</c><00:04:31.199><c> it.</c>

00:04:31.660 --> 00:04:34.279
But<00:04:31.800><c> they're</c><00:04:31.939><c> just</c><00:04:32.160><c> more</c><00:04:32.379><c> honest</c><00:04:32.699><c> than</c><00:04:32.879><c> the</c><00:04:33.019><c> rest</c><00:04:33.199><c> of</c><00:04:33.339><c> us</c><00:04:33.540><c> are.</c>

00:04:34.360 --> 00:04:36.139
And<00:04:34.579><c> so</c><00:04:34.720><c> one</c><00:04:34.959><c> day,</c><00:04:35.379><c> I</c><00:04:35.480><c> was</c><00:04:35.699><c> getting</c><00:04:35.920><c> done</c>

00:04:36.139 --> 00:04:37.920
doing<00:04:36.360><c> some</c><00:04:36.740><c> studies</c><00:04:36.959><c> a</c><00:04:37.199><c> Saturday</c><00:04:37.420><c> morning.</c>

00:04:38.259 --> 00:04:41.540
I<00:04:38.480><c> came</c><00:04:38.720><c> out</c><00:04:38.899><c> of</c><00:04:38.980><c> the</c><00:04:39.240><c> office</c><00:04:39.720><c> to</c><00:04:40.259><c> make</c><00:04:40.439><c> some</c><00:04:40.699><c> lunch</c>

00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:44.019
and<00:04:41.879><c> my</c><00:04:42.139><c> four</c><00:04:42.360><c>-year</c><00:04:42.480><c>-old</c><00:04:42.560><c> Joshua,</c><00:04:43.079><c> our</c><00:04:43.300><c> four</c><00:04:43.500><c>-year</c><00:04:43.680><c>-old,</c>

00:04:44.220 --> 00:04:45.600
decides<00:04:44.500><c> that</c><00:04:44.680><c> he's</c><00:04:44.839><c> gonna</c><00:04:44.959><c> start</c><00:04:45.240><c> crunching</c>

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:47.139
on<00:04:45.839><c> some</c><00:04:46.079><c> chips</c><00:04:46.379><c> before</c><00:04:46.759><c> lunch.</c>

00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:49.060
And<00:04:47.879><c> so</c><00:04:48.019><c> we</c><00:04:48.180><c> tell</c><00:04:48.279><c> him</c><00:04:48.399><c> the</c><00:04:48.560><c> usual</c><00:04:48.819><c> thing</c>

00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:50.019
that<00:04:49.120><c> we've</c><00:04:49.420><c> all</c><00:04:49.540><c> been</c><00:04:49.759><c> told.</c>

00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:52.040
You<00:04:50.360><c> know,</c><00:04:50.560><c> no</c><00:04:50.779><c> chips</c><00:04:51.040><c> until</c><00:04:51.459><c> with</c><00:04:51.720><c> lunch,</c>

00:04:52.420 --> 00:04:54.100
then<00:04:52.560><c> you</c><00:04:52.660><c> can</c><00:04:52.899><c> have</c><00:04:53.060><c> some</c><00:04:53.279><c> of</c><00:04:53.399><c> that.</c>

00:04:54.160 --> 00:04:55.899
So<00:04:54.439><c> he</c><00:04:54.600><c> kinda</c><00:04:54.899><c> scurries</c><00:04:55.199><c> off</c><00:04:55.480><c> and</c><00:04:55.620><c> I</c><00:04:55.759><c> think,</c>

00:04:55.980 --> 00:04:58.279
all<00:04:56.100><c> right,</c><00:04:56.279><c> the</c><00:04:56.399><c> kid's</c><00:04:56.660><c> listening,</c><00:04:56.899><c> this</c><00:04:57.120><c> is</c><00:04:57.279><c> a</c><00:04:57.319><c> good</c><00:04:57.480><c> thing.</c>

00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.639
Then<00:04:58.720><c> two</c><00:04:58.959><c> minutes</c><00:04:59.259><c> later,</c><00:05:00.060><c> I</c><00:05:00.259><c> hear</c><00:05:00.420><c> the</c><00:05:00.639><c> crunching</c><00:05:01.019><c> of</c><00:05:01.259><c> chips,</c>

00:05:01.980 --> 00:05:05.579
not<00:05:02.279><c> from</c><00:05:02.540><c> the</c><00:05:02.759><c> bag</c><00:05:02.879><c> of</c><00:05:03.139><c> chips,</c><00:05:03.740><c> but</c><00:05:03.920><c> now</c><00:05:04.180><c> from</c><00:05:04.360><c> the</c><00:05:04.560><c> living</c><00:05:04.740><c> room.</c>

00:05:05.740 --> 00:05:07.519
So<00:05:06.000><c> I</c><00:05:06.120><c> look</c><00:05:06.279><c> over</c><00:05:06.560><c> in</c><00:05:06.699><c> the</c><00:05:06.839><c> living</c><00:05:07.060><c> room,</c>

00:05:07.779 --> 00:05:09.500
and<00:05:07.939><c> there</c><00:05:08.060><c> on</c><00:05:08.240><c> the</c><00:05:08.439><c> floor</c><00:05:08.600><c> in</c><00:05:08.879><c> plain</c><00:05:09.100><c> sight</c>

00:05:09.500 --> 00:05:12.040
is<00:05:09.879><c> this</c><00:05:10.180><c> Joshua</c><00:05:10.639><c>-sized</c><00:05:11.019><c> lump</c><00:05:11.339><c> sitting</c><00:05:11.620><c> there</c>

00:05:12.040 --> 00:05:14.040
with<00:05:12.339><c> a</c><00:05:12.560><c> blanket</c><00:05:12.800><c> over</c><00:05:13.060><c> his</c><00:05:13.279><c> head.</c>

00:05:14.540 --> 00:05:16.399
So<00:05:15.019><c> he's</c><00:05:15.500><c> underneath</c><00:05:15.879><c> the</c><00:05:16.180><c> blanket.</c>

00:05:16.399 --> 00:05:19.620
So<00:05:16.740><c> I</c><00:05:16.959><c> lift</c><00:05:17.180><c> the</c><00:05:17.439><c> blanket</c><00:05:17.660><c> off,</c><00:05:18.699><c> and</c><00:05:18.839><c> to</c><00:05:18.980><c> no</c><00:05:19.139><c> surprise,</c>

00:05:19.759 --> 00:05:22.120
there's<00:05:20.060><c> Joshua</c><00:05:20.420><c> munching</c><00:05:20.779><c> away</c><00:05:21.060><c> on</c><00:05:21.360><c> chips.</c>

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:25.339
And<00:05:22.699><c> I</c><00:05:22.899><c> think,</c><00:05:23.060><c> you</c><00:05:23.120><c> know,</c><00:05:24.100><c> kids</c><00:05:24.339><c> are</c><00:05:24.540><c> not</c><00:05:24.720><c> all</c><00:05:24.839><c> that</c><00:05:25.079><c> smart.</c>

00:05:25.459 --> 00:05:26.980
They're<00:05:25.500><c> kinda</c><00:05:25.720><c> still</c><00:05:26.019><c> developing.</c>

00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.079
And<00:05:27.139><c> then</c><00:05:27.259><c> as</c><00:05:27.379><c> I'm</c><00:05:27.600><c> thinking</c><00:05:27.779><c> that,</c><00:05:28.079><c> I</c><00:05:28.100><c> thought,</c>

00:05:29.600 --> 00:05:31.300
no,<00:05:29.699><c> we're</c><00:05:29.800><c> not</c><00:05:29.980><c> that</c><00:05:30.240><c> smart</c><00:05:30.360><c> either,</c><00:05:30.620><c> are</c><00:05:30.819><c> we?</c>

00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:33.500
Because<00:05:31.959><c> in</c><00:05:32.199><c> Joshua's</c><00:05:32.819><c> mind,</c><00:05:33.000><c> he</c><00:05:33.240><c> thought,</c>

00:05:33.779 --> 00:05:35.500
well,<00:05:33.980><c> you</c><00:05:34.180><c> know,</c><00:05:34.180><c> I</c><00:05:34.279><c> can't</c><00:05:34.639><c> see</c><00:05:34.879><c> him</c><00:05:35.100><c> anymore.</c>

00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:37.920
That<00:05:36.220><c> must</c><00:05:36.420><c> mean</c><00:05:36.639><c> he</c><00:05:36.800><c> can't</c><00:05:37.120><c> see</c><00:05:37.339><c> me.</c>

00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:40.740
So<00:05:38.399><c> therefore,</c><00:05:38.860><c> I</c><00:05:38.980><c> can</c><00:05:39.160><c> do</c><00:05:39.279><c> what</c><00:05:39.420><c> I</c><00:05:39.620><c> wanna</c><00:05:39.740><c> do.</c>

00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:42.759
And<00:05:41.639><c> we</c><00:05:41.779><c> kinda</c><00:05:42.000><c> chuckle</c><00:05:42.439><c> a</c><00:05:42.439><c> little</c><00:05:42.639><c> bit.</c>

00:05:42.759 --> 00:05:44.660
I<00:05:42.860><c> know</c><00:05:43.040><c> I</c><00:05:43.259><c> do,</c><00:05:43.420><c> and</c><00:05:43.540><c> then</c><00:05:43.680><c> I</c><00:05:43.860><c> realize,</c><00:05:44.180><c> wait</c><00:05:44.319><c> a</c><00:05:44.439><c> minute.</c>

00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:47.860
We<00:05:45.639><c> kinda</c><00:05:45.860><c> do</c><00:05:46.100><c> that</c><00:05:46.300><c> a</c><00:05:46.379><c> lot</c><00:05:46.500><c> as</c><00:05:46.779><c> well.</c>

00:05:48.139 --> 00:05:51.060
We<00:05:48.319><c> think,</c><00:05:48.639><c> well,</c><00:05:48.959><c> you</c><00:05:49.240><c> know,</c><00:05:49.240><c> I</c><00:05:49.279><c> can't</c><00:05:49.639><c> see</c><00:05:49.879><c> God,</c>

00:05:51.300 --> 00:05:53.519
and<00:05:51.720><c> nobody</c><00:05:52.139><c> else</c><00:05:52.459><c> is</c><00:05:52.699><c> around,</c>

00:05:54.100 --> 00:05:56.019
so<00:05:54.360><c> maybe</c><00:05:54.620><c> I</c><00:05:54.720><c> can</c><00:05:54.879><c> do</c><00:05:55.040><c> the</c><00:05:55.220><c> things</c><00:05:55.360><c> that</c><00:05:55.540><c> I</c><00:05:55.699><c> wanna</c><00:05:55.839><c> do.</c>

00:05:56.060 --> 00:05:57.660
And<00:05:56.180><c> if</c><00:05:56.279><c> we</c><00:05:56.480><c> ask</c><00:05:56.680><c> ourselves</c><00:05:57.100><c> the</c><00:05:57.360><c> question,</c>

00:05:57.720 --> 00:05:59.839
if<00:05:57.860><c> we're</c><00:05:58.060><c> really</c><00:05:58.259><c> honest</c><00:05:58.579><c> with</c><00:05:58.839><c> ourselves,</c>

00:06:00.439 --> 00:06:03.819
would<00:06:00.620><c> we</c><00:06:00.860><c> do</c><00:06:01.120><c> and</c><00:06:01.459><c> say</c><00:06:01.779><c> and</c><00:06:02.459><c> think</c><00:06:02.839><c> a</c><00:06:03.180><c> lot</c><00:06:03.360><c> of</c><00:06:03.519><c> the</c><00:06:03.660><c> things</c>

00:06:03.819 --> 00:06:07.540
that<00:06:04.019><c> we</c><00:06:04.220><c> do</c><00:06:04.699><c> if</c><00:06:05.279><c> Christ</c><00:06:05.639><c> were</c><00:06:05.819><c> right</c><00:06:06.019><c> there</c><00:06:06.220><c> next</c><00:06:06.480><c> to</c><00:06:06.680><c> us?</c>

00:06:07.980 --> 00:06:10.579
We<00:06:08.360><c> say</c><00:06:08.500><c> if</c><00:06:08.779><c> Christ</c><00:06:09.100><c> was</c><00:06:09.279><c> right</c><00:06:09.459><c> there</c><00:06:09.620><c> next</c><00:06:09.860><c> to</c><00:06:10.060><c> us,</c>

00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:13.699
the<00:06:11.160><c> fact</c><00:06:11.319><c> of</c><00:06:11.459><c> the</c><00:06:11.600><c> matter</c><00:06:11.819><c> is,</c><00:06:12.459><c> he</c><00:06:12.660><c> is.</c>

00:06:13.860 --> 00:06:16.279
Right,<00:06:14.600><c> the</c><00:06:14.600><c> angels</c><00:06:14.920><c> of</c><00:06:15.079><c> God</c><00:06:15.379><c> roam</c><00:06:15.639><c> to</c><00:06:16.019><c> and</c><00:06:16.139><c> fro</c>

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:17.019
throughout<00:06:16.600><c> the</c><00:06:16.759><c> whole</c><00:06:16.920><c> earth.</c>

00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:18.480
Those<00:06:17.220><c> are</c><00:06:17.399><c> the</c><00:06:17.519><c> eyes</c><00:06:17.819><c> of</c><00:06:18.019><c> the</c><00:06:18.180><c> Lord.</c>

00:06:18.939 --> 00:06:20.279
They<00:06:19.300><c> see</c><00:06:19.639><c> what</c><00:06:19.800><c> we're</c><00:06:20.000><c> doing,</c>

00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:21.879
but<00:06:20.759><c> we're</c><00:06:20.939><c> like</c><00:06:21.139><c> that</c><00:06:21.399><c> four</c><00:06:21.620><c>-year</c><00:06:21.759><c>-old</c>

00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:23.019
with<00:06:22.019><c> the</c><00:06:22.240><c> blanket</c><00:06:22.480><c> over</c><00:06:22.800><c> our</c><00:06:22.920><c> head</c>

00:06:23.019 --> 00:06:26.019
thinking<00:06:23.300><c> that</c><00:06:23.500><c> it's</c><00:06:23.720><c> okay</c><00:06:23.980><c> because</c><00:06:24.339><c> we</c><00:06:24.600><c> can't</c><00:06:24.879><c> see</c><00:06:25.120><c> God.</c>

00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:28.699
We<00:06:26.759><c> have</c><00:06:26.980><c> to</c><00:06:27.180><c> have</c><00:06:27.300><c> that</c><00:06:27.540><c> level</c><00:06:27.759><c> of</c><00:06:27.959><c> God</c><00:06:28.199><c> consciousness,</c>

00:06:28.819 --> 00:06:30.740
that<00:06:29.019><c> level</c><00:06:29.259><c> of</c><00:06:29.480><c> God</c><00:06:29.680><c> awareness,</c>

00:06:30.779 --> 00:06:32.579
because<00:06:31.180><c> we</c><00:06:31.399><c> can't</c><00:06:31.660><c> hide</c><00:06:31.959><c> from</c><00:06:32.199><c> God.</c>

00:06:33.000 --> 00:06:36.439
Hebrews<00:06:33.259><c> tells</c><00:06:33.620><c> us</c><00:06:34.319><c> that</c><00:06:34.779><c> all</c><00:06:35.079><c> things</c><00:06:35.399><c> are</c><00:06:35.720><c> naked</c><00:06:36.000><c> and</c><00:06:36.259><c> open</c>

00:06:36.439 --> 00:06:38.819
before<00:06:36.800><c> the</c><00:06:37.060><c> eyes</c><00:06:37.240><c> of</c><00:06:37.379><c> those</c><00:06:37.600><c> with</c><00:06:37.800><c> whom</c><00:06:37.899><c> we</c><00:06:38.040><c> have</c><00:06:38.220><c> to</c><00:06:38.420><c> do.</c>

00:06:39.319 --> 00:06:41.680
And<00:06:39.480><c> that's</c><00:06:39.639><c> in</c><00:06:39.759><c> Hebrews</c><00:06:40.000><c> four</c><00:06:40.300><c> and</c><00:06:40.399><c> verse</c><00:06:40.620><c> 13.</c>

00:06:41.699 --> 00:06:43.360
And<00:06:41.939><c> so</c><00:06:42.120><c> it</c><00:06:42.180><c> reveals</c><00:06:42.600><c> a</c><00:06:42.779><c> little</c><00:06:42.899><c> bit</c><00:06:43.079><c> to</c><00:06:43.199><c> us</c>

00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:44.240
about<00:06:43.540><c> our</c><00:06:43.759><c> own</c><00:06:44.000><c> thinking.</c>

00:06:44.500 --> 00:06:45.959
Well,<00:06:44.660><c> that's</c><00:06:44.839><c> what</c><00:06:45.019><c> Adam</c><00:06:45.259><c> and</c><00:06:45.439><c> Eve</c><00:06:45.519><c> did</c><00:06:45.699><c> as</c><00:06:45.879><c> well.</c>

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:49.500
They<00:06:46.139><c> tried</c><00:06:46.379><c> to</c><00:06:46.740><c> hide</c><00:06:47.220><c> from</c><00:06:48.519><c> God.</c>

00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:54.120
But<00:06:50.500><c> we</c><00:06:50.699><c> know,</c><00:06:50.920><c> of</c><00:06:51.160><c> course,</c><00:06:51.759><c> that</c><00:06:52.040><c> nobody</c><00:06:52.279><c> can</c><00:06:52.579><c> hide</c><00:06:52.819><c> from</c><00:06:53.079><c> God.</c>

00:06:54.199 --> 00:06:56.240
And<00:06:54.379><c> they</c><00:06:54.560><c> try</c><00:06:54.699><c> to</c><00:06:54.899><c> cover</c><00:06:55.019><c> it</c><00:06:55.199><c> up.</c>

00:06:57.240 --> 00:07:00.540
And<00:06:57.459><c> so</c><00:06:57.759><c> God</c><00:06:58.120><c> knows</c><00:06:58.620><c> exactly</c><00:06:59.300><c> where</c><00:06:59.500><c> they</c><00:06:59.720><c> are.</c>

00:07:00.740 --> 00:07:03.139
There's<00:07:01.040><c> no</c><00:07:01.339><c> fooling</c><00:07:01.740><c> God</c><00:07:01.899><c> in</c><00:07:02.060><c> this</c><00:07:02.279><c> regard.</c>

00:07:03.699 --> 00:07:06.379
But<00:07:03.920><c> look</c><00:07:04.139><c> at</c><00:07:04.300><c> how</c><00:07:04.459><c> God</c><00:07:04.740><c> handles</c><00:07:05.079><c> the</c><00:07:05.319><c> situation.</c>

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:08.379
Think<00:07:07.000><c> about</c><00:07:07.240><c> this</c><00:07:07.459><c> scenario</c><00:07:07.879><c> for</c><00:07:08.160><c> a</c><00:07:08.259><c> minute.</c>

00:07:08.579 --> 00:07:10.579
If<00:07:08.839><c> you</c><00:07:09.060><c> were</c><00:07:09.339><c> 100</c><00:07:09.680><c>%</c><00:07:10.139><c> right</c>

00:07:10.579 --> 00:07:12.879
and<00:07:10.980><c> somebody</c><00:07:11.379><c> else</c><00:07:11.699><c> was</c><00:07:11.920><c> 100</c><00:07:12.279><c>%</c><00:07:12.680><c> wrong,</c>

00:07:12.980 --> 00:07:14.500
they<00:07:13.000><c> didn't</c><00:07:13.199><c> have</c><00:07:13.360><c> a</c><00:07:13.480><c> leg</c><00:07:13.639><c> to</c><00:07:13.860><c> stand</c><00:07:14.160><c> on,</c>

00:07:14.860 --> 00:07:17.540
the<00:07:15.120><c> natural</c><00:07:15.639><c> reaction</c><00:07:16.199><c> would</c><00:07:16.379><c> be</c><00:07:16.519><c> to</c><00:07:16.660><c> go</c><00:07:16.779><c> to</c><00:07:16.959><c> that</c><00:07:17.139><c> person</c>

00:07:17.540 --> 00:07:19.939
and<00:07:17.879><c> say,</c><00:07:18.459><c> look,</c><00:07:18.720><c> here's</c><00:07:19.040><c> why</c><00:07:19.300><c> you're</c><00:07:19.579><c> wrong</c>

00:07:19.939 --> 00:07:21.879
and<00:07:20.180><c> here's</c><00:07:20.519><c> why</c><00:07:20.720><c> I'm</c><00:07:20.980><c> right.</c>

00:07:21.939 --> 00:07:23.240
And<00:07:22.300><c> that's</c><00:07:22.639><c> the</c><00:07:22.740><c> end</c><00:07:22.879><c> of</c><00:07:23.019><c> it.</c>

00:07:23.399 --> 00:07:25.240
I'm<00:07:23.779><c> gonna</c><00:07:23.920><c> set</c><00:07:24.120><c> you</c><00:07:24.379><c> straight.</c>

00:07:25.819 --> 00:07:27.259
But<00:07:25.980><c> look</c><00:07:26.139><c> at</c><00:07:26.279><c> how</c><00:07:26.420><c> God</c><00:07:26.680><c> works</c><00:07:26.980><c> with</c><00:07:27.180><c> them</c>

00:07:27.259 --> 00:07:28.740
because<00:07:27.399><c> that's</c><00:07:27.740><c> another</c><00:07:27.939><c> of</c><00:07:28.120><c> the</c><00:07:28.259><c> key</c><00:07:28.420><c> elements</c>

00:07:28.740 --> 00:07:30.139
that<00:07:28.920><c> we</c><00:07:29.079><c> wanna</c><00:07:29.220><c> see</c><00:07:29.459><c> on</c><00:07:29.579><c> the</c><00:07:29.800><c> bottom</c><00:07:29.980><c> there</c>

00:07:30.139 --> 00:07:32.279
is<00:07:30.439><c> how</c><00:07:30.699><c> does</c><00:07:30.959><c> God</c><00:07:31.199><c> deal</c><00:07:31.519><c> with</c><00:07:31.779><c> them</c>

00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.779
through<00:07:32.740><c> this</c><00:07:32.980><c> particular</c><00:07:33.519><c> situation?</c>

00:07:35.519 --> 00:07:38.019
And<00:07:35.920><c> so</c><00:07:36.079><c> what</c><00:07:36.220><c> he</c><00:07:36.480><c> says</c><00:07:36.680><c> in</c><00:07:36.879><c> verse</c><00:07:37.160><c> nine</c><00:07:37.459><c> is</c><00:07:37.639><c> he</c><00:07:37.740><c> says,</c>

00:07:38.019 --> 00:07:41.300
Adam,<00:07:39.079><c> where</c><00:07:39.839><c> are</c><00:07:40.120><c> you?</c>

00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:44.139
God<00:07:42.100><c> knows</c><00:07:42.399><c> where</c><00:07:42.660><c> Adam</c><00:07:42.860><c> is.</c>

00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.500
But<00:07:44.360><c> nonetheless,</c><00:07:44.779><c> he</c><00:07:44.959><c> asks</c><00:07:45.300><c> the</c><00:07:45.560><c> question.</c>

00:07:47.699 --> 00:07:51.360
So<00:07:48.259><c> he</c><00:07:48.819><c> says</c><00:07:49.319><c> in</c><00:07:49.899><c> verse</c><00:07:50.220><c> 10,</c>

00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:53.040
I<00:07:51.639><c> heard</c><00:07:51.860><c> thy</c><00:07:52.079><c> voice</c><00:07:52.360><c> in</c><00:07:52.540><c> the</c><00:07:52.699><c> garden</c>

00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:57.360
and<00:07:53.720><c> I</c><00:07:53.899><c> was</c><00:07:54.079><c> afraid</c><00:07:54.379><c> because</c><00:07:54.720><c> I</c><00:07:54.899><c> was</c><00:07:55.120><c> naked</c><00:07:55.720><c> and</c><00:07:56.439><c> I</c><00:07:56.620><c> hid.</c>

00:07:58.600 --> 00:08:00.660
Well,<00:07:58.779><c> this</c><00:07:58.980><c> isn't</c><00:07:59.199><c> Adam's</c><00:07:59.899><c> first</c><00:08:00.139><c> interaction</c>

00:08:00.660 --> 00:08:02.100
with<00:08:00.899><c> the</c><00:08:01.040><c> Yahweh</c><00:08:01.319><c> angel.</c>

00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:05.500
In<00:08:02.759><c> fact,</c><00:08:02.939><c> he</c><00:08:03.060><c> had</c><00:08:03.160><c> many</c><00:08:03.399><c> other</c><00:08:03.740><c> positive</c><00:08:04.339><c> experiences</c>

00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:06.379
with<00:08:05.800><c> the</c><00:08:06.000><c> Yahweh</c><00:08:06.240><c> angel.</c>

00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:08.360
But<00:08:06.500><c> remember</c><00:08:06.699><c> in</c><00:08:06.920><c> chapter</c><00:08:07.160><c> two</c><00:08:07.459><c> where</c><00:08:07.639><c> he</c><00:08:07.759><c> was</c><00:08:07.980><c> taken</c>

00:08:08.360 --> 00:08:10.660
and<00:08:08.779><c> he</c><00:08:08.879><c> was</c><00:08:09.240><c> placed</c><00:08:09.519><c> in</c><00:08:09.660><c> the</c><00:08:09.839><c> garden.</c>

00:08:10.819 --> 00:08:12.680
That<00:08:10.980><c> would</c><00:08:11.139><c> have</c><00:08:11.220><c> been</c><00:08:11.319><c> a</c><00:08:11.519><c> wonderful</c><00:08:11.839><c> day,</c>

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:14.899
a<00:08:12.879><c> wonderful</c><00:08:13.240><c> experience</c><00:08:13.720><c> as</c><00:08:13.939><c> Adam</c><00:08:14.120><c> opens</c><00:08:14.519><c> his</c><00:08:14.759><c> eyes</c>

00:08:14.899 --> 00:08:17.240
and<00:08:15.040><c> the</c><00:08:15.259><c> first</c><00:08:15.500><c> thing</c><00:08:15.680><c> that</c><00:08:15.839><c> he</c><00:08:15.959><c> takes</c><00:08:16.300><c> in</c>

00:08:17.399 --> 00:08:20.480

00:08:20.740 --> 00:08:22.839
He's<00:08:21.040><c> given</c><00:08:21.199><c> the</c><00:08:21.560><c> responsibilities,</c>

00:08:22.899 --> 00:08:24.819

00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.300
He<00:08:29.339><c> doesn't</c><00:08:29.519><c> have</c><00:08:29.720><c> to</c><00:08:29.899><c> worry</c><00:08:30.100><c> about</c><00:08:30.279><c> them</c><00:08:30.519><c> attacking</c><00:08:30.899><c> them,</c>

00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:34.820
but<00:08:31.740><c> he</c><00:08:31.980><c> actually</c><00:08:32.279><c> gets</c><00:08:32.519><c> to</c><00:08:33.139><c> experience</c><00:08:33.460><c> them</c><00:08:34.139><c> firsthand,</c>

00:08:42.139 --> 00:08:47.039
What<00:08:42.379><c> about</c><00:08:42.580><c> when</c><00:08:42.799><c> God</c><00:08:43.460><c> custom</c><00:08:44.120><c> made</c><00:08:44.580><c> a</c><00:08:44.919><c> wife</c><00:08:45.259><c> for</c><00:08:46.159><c> Adam?</c>

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:48.240
I<00:08:47.480><c> mean,</c><00:08:47.500><c> wouldn't</c><00:08:47.620><c> that</c><00:08:47.799><c> be</c><00:08:48.019><c> nice?</c>

00:08:48.360 --> 00:08:49.539
It<00:08:48.360><c> would</c><00:08:48.419><c> just</c><00:08:48.679><c> take</c><00:08:48.840><c> all</c><00:08:49.019><c> the</c><00:08:49.179><c> angst</c><00:08:49.440><c> out</c>

00:08:49.539 --> 00:08:51.000
of<00:08:49.700><c> trying</c><00:08:49.860><c> to</c><00:08:50.100><c> find</c><00:08:50.240><c> the</c><00:08:50.379><c> right</c><00:08:50.600><c> partner.</c>

00:08:51.399 --> 00:08:52.419
Of<00:08:51.580><c> if</c><00:08:51.740><c> God</c><00:08:51.919><c> just</c><00:08:52.139><c> said,</c><00:08:52.279><c> look,</c>

00:08:52.419 --> 00:08:54.200
I've<00:08:52.639><c> just</c><00:08:52.879><c> prepared</c><00:08:53.179><c> this</c><00:08:53.480><c> person</c><00:08:53.740><c> for</c><00:08:54.000><c> you.</c>

00:08:54.379 --> 00:08:55.980
They're<00:08:54.539><c> an</c><00:08:54.840><c> absolute</c><00:08:55.200><c> custom</c><00:08:55.659><c> match.</c>

00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.440
Here<00:08:56.580><c> you</c><00:08:56.779><c> go,</c><00:08:58.360><c> positive</c><00:08:58.840><c> experience.</c>

00:08:59.500 --> 00:09:01.139
And<00:08:59.639><c> in</c><00:08:59.820><c> none</c><00:08:59.919><c> of</c><00:09:00.080><c> those</c><00:09:00.299><c> circumstances</c>

00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:04.679
do<00:09:01.799><c> we</c><00:09:02.059><c> find</c><00:09:02.279><c> Adam</c><00:09:02.639><c> shrinking</c><00:09:03.039><c> away</c><00:09:03.500><c> in</c><00:09:03.860><c> fear.</c>

00:09:05.179 --> 00:09:06.940
So<00:09:05.740><c> why</c><00:09:06.019><c> now?</c>

00:09:07.519 --> 00:09:10.620
Well,<00:09:08.580><c> that's</c><00:09:08.899><c> the</c><00:09:09.059><c> question</c><00:09:09.340><c> that</c><00:09:09.559><c> God</c><00:09:09.720><c> asks.</c>

00:09:10.919 --> 00:09:14.019
Who<00:09:11.200><c> told</c><00:09:11.620><c> thee</c><00:09:12.159><c> that</c><00:09:12.700><c> thou</c><00:09:12.879><c> was</c><00:09:13.139><c> naked?</c>

00:09:14.700 --> 00:09:17.019
Have<00:09:14.860><c> thou</c><00:09:15.080><c> eaten</c><00:09:15.320><c> of</c><00:09:15.480><c> the</c><00:09:15.759><c> tree</c><00:09:15.919><c> whereof</c><00:09:16.259><c> I</c><00:09:16.480><c> commanded</c><00:09:16.799><c> thee</c>

00:09:17.019 --> 00:09:19.080
that<00:09:17.139><c> thou</c><00:09:17.360><c> shouldest</c><00:09:17.820><c> not</c><00:09:18.120><c> eat?</c>

00:09:19.480 --> 00:09:22.279
So<00:09:19.879><c> God</c><00:09:20.120><c> continues</c><00:09:20.720><c> to</c><00:09:21.019><c> question</c><00:09:21.399><c> man,</c>

00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:25.059
and<00:09:22.740><c> he</c><00:09:22.940><c> continues</c><00:09:23.340><c> to</c><00:09:23.659><c> question</c><00:09:24.059><c> the</c><00:09:24.299><c> woman</c><00:09:24.519><c> after</c><00:09:24.840><c> this.</c>

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.320
In<00:09:25.580><c> fact,</c><00:09:25.860><c> no</c><00:09:25.980><c> less</c><00:09:26.240><c> than</c><00:09:26.419><c> four</c><00:09:26.720><c> questions</c><00:09:27.139><c> are</c><00:09:27.399><c> asked.</c>

00:09:29.440 --> 00:09:31.620
But<00:09:29.580><c> the</c><00:09:29.740><c> question</c><00:09:29.960><c> that</c><00:09:30.100><c> comes</c><00:09:30.279><c> up</c><00:09:30.480><c> in</c><00:09:30.659><c> my</c><00:09:30.860><c> mind</c><00:09:31.039><c> is,</c>

00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.539
why<00:09:32.080><c> is</c><00:09:32.279><c> God</c><00:09:32.440><c> asking</c><00:09:32.759><c> any</c><00:09:33.039><c> questions</c><00:09:33.440><c> at</c><00:09:33.659><c> all?</c>

00:09:34.659 --> 00:09:36.879
If<00:09:34.899><c> God</c><00:09:35.139><c> already</c><00:09:35.399><c> knows</c><00:09:35.700><c> the</c><00:09:35.980><c> answer</c><00:09:36.240><c> to</c><00:09:36.399><c> the</c><00:09:36.600><c> questions,</c>

00:09:36.960 --> 00:09:39.379
I<00:09:36.980><c> mean,</c><00:09:37.139><c> isn't</c><00:09:37.379><c> there</c><00:09:37.580><c> a</c><00:09:37.620><c> more</c><00:09:37.919><c> efficient</c><00:09:38.240><c> and</c><00:09:38.440><c> effective</c><00:09:38.940><c> way</c>

00:09:39.379 --> 00:09:40.840
to<00:09:39.940><c> just</c><00:09:40.159><c> get</c><00:09:40.299><c> to</c><00:09:40.500><c> the</c><00:09:40.659><c> point?</c>

00:09:41.320 --> 00:09:44.440
I<00:09:41.460><c> mean,</c><00:09:41.559><c> if</c><00:09:41.659><c> they</c><00:09:41.820><c> need</c><00:09:41.940><c> to</c><00:09:42.059><c> be</c><00:09:42.299><c> punished,</c><00:09:43.000><c> then</c><00:09:43.139><c> punish</c><00:09:43.460><c> them.</c>

00:09:44.940 --> 00:09:47.399
So<00:09:45.259><c> if</c><00:09:45.440><c> God</c><00:09:45.679><c> already</c><00:09:45.919><c> knows</c><00:09:46.139><c> the</c><00:09:46.419><c> answer,</c>

00:09:47.940 --> 00:09:51.559
he's<00:09:48.179><c> really</c><00:09:48.419><c> not</c><00:09:48.620><c> asking</c><00:09:48.940><c> the</c><00:09:49.220><c> questions</c><00:09:49.600><c> for</c><00:09:49.860><c> himself,</c><00:09:50.460><c> is</c><00:09:50.600><c> he?</c>

00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:56.840
He's<00:09:52.440><c> asking</c><00:09:52.720><c> the</c><00:09:53.019><c> questions</c><00:09:53.379><c> for</c><00:09:53.600><c> the</c><00:09:53.840><c> benefit</c><00:09:54.360><c> of</c><00:09:55.000><c> Adam</c><00:09:55.360><c> and</c><00:09:56.039><c> Eve.</c>

00:09:57.259 --> 00:09:58.740
Think<00:09:57.480><c> about</c><00:09:57.700><c> it</c><00:09:57.799><c> from</c><00:09:57.940><c> this</c><00:09:58.200><c> perspective.</c>

00:09:59.139 --> 00:10:01.120
If<00:09:59.320><c> he</c><00:09:59.480><c> just</c><00:09:59.679><c> would</c><00:09:59.820><c> have</c><00:09:59.919><c> told</c><00:10:00.100><c> him</c><00:10:00.220><c> you</c><00:10:00.340><c> did</c><00:10:00.519><c> the</c><00:10:00.720><c> wrong</c><00:10:00.919><c> thing</c>

00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:02.519
and<00:10:01.179><c> now</c><00:10:01.340><c> you're</c><00:10:01.559><c> punished,</c>

00:10:02.700 --> 00:10:05.159
that<00:10:02.960><c> doesn't</c><00:10:03.279><c> require</c><00:10:03.700><c> any</c><00:10:04.059><c> thinking</c><00:10:04.279><c> on</c><00:10:04.460><c> the</c><00:10:04.620><c> part</c><00:10:04.759><c> of</c><00:10:04.960><c> Adam</c>

00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:05.720
and<00:10:05.340><c> Eve.</c>

00:10:06.059 --> 00:10:09.259
They<00:10:06.279><c> sit</c><00:10:06.500><c> there</c><00:10:06.720><c> as</c><00:10:06.899><c> the</c><00:10:07.100><c> recipients</c><00:10:07.639><c> of</c><00:10:08.059><c> divine</c><00:10:08.320><c> judgment.</c>

00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:12.860
But<00:10:09.960><c> rather</c><00:10:10.299><c> what</c><00:10:10.500><c> God's</c><00:10:10.879><c> doing</c><00:10:11.100><c> is</c><00:10:11.320><c> he's</c><00:10:11.779><c> asking</c><00:10:11.899><c> them</c><00:10:12.179><c> questions</c>

00:10:12.860 --> 00:10:16.360
because<00:10:13.639><c> he</c><00:10:13.820><c> wants</c><00:10:14.059><c> them</c><00:10:14.279><c> to</c><00:10:14.620><c> process</c><00:10:15.019><c> the</c><00:10:15.320><c> information.</c>

00:10:16.820 --> 00:10:19.460
He's<00:10:17.340><c> interested</c><00:10:17.759><c> in</c><00:10:18.159><c> their</c><00:10:18.480><c> development.</c>

00:10:19.740 --> 00:10:21.940
He's<00:10:20.019><c> not</c><00:10:20.179><c> just</c><00:10:20.440><c> interested</c><00:10:20.840><c> in</c><00:10:21.039><c> meeting</c><00:10:21.259><c> out</c><00:10:21.539><c> punishment,</c>

00:10:22.299 --> 00:10:24.639

And<00:10:27.639><c> this</c><00:10:27.799><c> is</c><00:10:28.039><c> consistent</c><00:10:28.480><c> with</c><00:10:28.679><c> how</c><00:10:28.820><c> God</c><00:10:29.100><c> operates</c>

Where<00:10:33.039><c> is</c><00:10:33.240><c> Abel</c><00:10:33.480><c> thy</c><00:10:33.620><c> brother?</c>

00:10:34.480 --> 00:10:35.500
You<00:10:34.600><c> see</c><00:10:34.740><c> it</c><00:10:34.860><c> with</c><00:10:35.019><c> Zechariah.</c>

00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:36.899
What<00:10:35.879><c> seest</c><00:10:36.179><c> thou,</c><00:10:36.360><c> Zechariah?</c>

00:10:37.120 --> 00:10:38.120
You<00:10:37.320><c> see</c><00:10:37.480><c> it</c><00:10:37.639><c> with</c><00:10:37.960><c> Jonah.</c>

00:10:38.480 --> 00:10:41.019
Doest<00:10:38.879><c> thou</c><00:10:39.080><c> well</c><00:10:39.340><c> to</c><00:10:39.559><c> be</c><00:10:39.779><c> angry,</c><00:10:40.120><c> Jonah?</c>

00:10:41.980 --> 00:10:45.019
God<00:10:42.360><c> continues</c><00:10:42.980><c> to</c><00:10:43.279><c> ask</c><00:10:43.580><c> questions</c><00:10:44.059><c> of</c><00:10:44.240><c> his</c><00:10:44.480><c> creation</c>

00:10:45.019 --> 00:10:48.019
because<00:10:45.860><c> he</c><00:10:46.179><c> delights</c><00:10:46.559><c> in</c><00:10:46.940><c> stimulating</c><00:10:47.340><c> the</c><00:10:47.679><c> intellect.</c>

00:10:48.299 --> 00:10:49.860
He<00:10:48.500><c> wants</c><00:10:48.799><c> to</c><00:10:49.039><c> see</c><00:10:49.240><c> progression.</c>

00:10:50.220 --> 00:10:52.820
He<00:10:50.360><c> wants</c><00:10:50.600><c> to</c><00:10:50.840><c> see</c><00:10:51.059><c> development</c><00:10:51.580><c> in</c><00:10:52.039><c> thought.</c>

00:10:53.000 --> 00:10:55.620
He<00:10:53.120><c> wants</c><00:10:53.360><c> to</c><00:10:53.600><c> see</c><00:10:53.740><c> people</c><00:10:54.080><c> developing</c><00:10:54.840><c> spiritually,</c>

00:10:55.720 --> 00:10:58.000
even<00:10:56.120><c> when</c><00:10:56.299><c> they've</c><00:10:56.519><c> done</c><00:10:56.700><c> the</c><00:10:56.919><c> wrong</c><00:10:57.139><c> thing.</c>

00:10:58.179 --> 00:11:01.899
And<00:10:58.500><c> there's</c><00:10:59.340><c> probably</c><00:10:59.779><c> a</c><00:10:59.980><c> lesson</c><00:11:00.200><c> for</c><00:11:00.440><c> us</c><00:11:00.620><c> in</c><00:11:00.659><c> this,</c><00:11:01.019><c> isn't</c><00:11:01.080><c> there?</c>

00:11:02.240 --> 00:11:05.240
If<00:11:02.460><c> God</c><00:11:02.759><c> who</c><00:11:02.960><c> has</c><00:11:03.299><c> infinite</c><00:11:03.759><c> knowledge</c><00:11:04.159><c> of</c><00:11:04.519><c> everything</c>

00:11:05.240 --> 00:11:08.379
sees<00:11:06.100><c> it</c><00:11:06.419><c> fit</c><00:11:06.519><c> to</c><00:11:06.860><c> ask</c><00:11:07.159><c> questions,</c>

00:11:08.419 --> 00:11:10.460

00:11:10.820 --> 00:11:13.580
even<00:11:11.139><c> when</c><00:11:11.340><c> he's</c><00:11:11.600><c> 100</c><00:11:11.919><c>%</c><00:11:12.299><c> in</c><00:11:12.460><c> the</c><00:11:12.639><c> right,</c>

00:11:14.440 --> 00:11:18.220
how<00:11:14.679><c> much</c><00:11:14.940><c> more</c><00:11:15.240><c> so</c><00:11:15.519><c> us</c><00:11:16.220><c> being</c><00:11:16.879><c> imperfect</c><00:11:17.539><c> in</c><00:11:17.740><c> knowledge</c>

00:11:18.220 --> 00:11:23.519
and<00:11:18.820><c> understanding</c><00:11:19.440><c> that</c><00:11:20.659><c> we</c><00:11:20.940><c> should</c><00:11:21.100><c> be</c><00:11:21.779><c> slow</c><00:11:22.120><c> to</c><00:11:22.460><c> speak,</c>

00:11:23.639 --> 00:11:26.220
swift<00:11:23.840><c> to</c><00:11:24.120><c> hear,</c><00:11:25.240><c> and</c><00:11:25.500><c> slow</c><00:11:25.720><c> to</c><00:11:25.980><c> wrath,</c>

00:11:26.220 --> 00:11:29.000
as<00:11:26.440><c> James</c><00:11:26.740><c> tells</c><00:11:27.019><c> us</c><00:11:27.259><c> in</c><00:11:27.399><c> chapter</c><00:11:27.720><c> one</c><00:11:27.940><c> and</c><00:11:28.100><c> verse</c><00:11:28.379><c> 19.</c>

00:11:29.460 --> 00:11:31.639
I<00:11:29.500><c> mean,</c><00:11:29.720><c> God</c><00:11:29.960><c> could</c><00:11:30.179><c> have</c><00:11:30.399><c> righteously</c><00:11:30.919><c> come</c><00:11:31.179><c> down</c>

00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:34.240
in<00:11:31.940><c> a</c><00:11:32.100><c> cloud</c><00:11:32.259><c> of</c><00:11:32.580><c> thunder</c><00:11:32.759><c> and</c><00:11:32.960><c> just</c><00:11:33.179><c> sent</c><00:11:33.320><c> lightning</c><00:11:33.700><c> bolts</c><00:11:33.960><c> down</c>

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:36.240
and<00:11:34.379><c> destroyed</c><00:11:34.879><c> Adam</c><00:11:35.259><c> and</c><00:11:35.440><c> Eve.</c>

00:11:36.659 --> 00:11:38.419
But<00:11:36.799><c> he</c><00:11:36.879><c> didn't</c><00:11:37.120><c> do</c><00:11:37.360><c> that</c>

00:11:38.419 --> 00:11:41.779
because<00:11:38.740><c> he</c><00:11:38.899><c> was</c><00:11:39.220><c> interested</c><00:11:39.799><c> in</c><00:11:40.539><c> reconciliation.</c>

00:11:42.080 --> 00:11:44.679
He<00:11:42.279><c> was</c><00:11:42.620><c> interested</c><00:11:43.100><c> in</c><00:11:43.379><c> their</c><00:11:43.659><c> development.</c>

00:11:45.320 --> 00:11:48.460
And<00:11:45.480><c> if</c><00:11:45.659><c> we</c><00:11:45.879><c> have</c><00:11:46.000><c> that</c><00:11:46.299><c> goal</c><00:11:46.500><c> as</c><00:11:46.799><c> well</c><00:11:47.139><c> of</c><00:11:47.539><c> reconciliation,</c>

00:11:48.840 --> 00:11:49.860
when<00:11:48.980><c> there's</c><00:11:49.360><c> difficulties</c>

00:11:49.860 --> 00:11:51.259
and<00:11:50.059><c> there's</c><00:11:50.399><c> differences</c><00:11:50.720><c> between</c><00:11:51.100><c> us,</c>

00:11:51.259 --> 00:11:52.419
because<00:11:51.419><c> let's</c><00:11:51.759><c> face</c><00:11:52.019><c> it,</c>

00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:54.679
God's<00:11:53.299><c> brought</c><00:11:53.399><c> us</c><00:11:53.620><c> all</c><00:11:53.779><c> together</c><00:11:54.100><c> for</c><00:11:54.360><c> a</c><00:11:54.500><c> reason.</c>

00:11:54.679 --> 00:11:56.779
It's<00:11:54.820><c> not</c><00:11:55.000><c> because</c><00:11:55.220><c> we're</c><00:11:55.360><c> all</c><00:11:55.519><c> the</c><00:11:55.740><c> same.</c>

00:11:56.919 --> 00:11:59.019
It's<00:11:57.200><c> because</c><00:11:57.860><c> God</c><00:11:58.279><c> has</c><00:11:58.580><c> called</c><00:11:58.820><c> us,</c>

00:11:59.019 --> 00:12:01.720
and<00:11:59.139><c> in</c><00:11:59.360><c> fact,</c><00:12:00.159><c> we're</c><00:12:00.360><c> all</c><00:12:00.500><c> very</c><00:12:00.779><c> different.</c>

00:12:02.179 --> 00:12:05.000
And<00:12:02.360><c> those</c><00:12:02.580><c> differences</c><00:12:03.019><c> sometimes</c><00:12:03.659><c> lead</c><00:12:04.220><c> to</c><00:12:04.620><c> clashes,</c>

00:12:05.059 --> 00:12:06.259
don't<00:12:05.340><c> they?</c>

00:12:06.480 --> 00:12:09.019
But<00:12:06.659><c> if</c><00:12:06.820><c> we're</c><00:12:07.100><c> interested</c><00:12:07.460><c> in</c><00:12:07.620><c> each</c><00:12:07.860><c> other's</c><00:12:08.299><c> reconciliation</c>

00:12:09.019 --> 00:12:11.139
and<00:12:09.419><c> in</c><00:12:09.580><c> each</c><00:12:09.779><c> other's</c><00:12:10.120><c> salvation,</c>

00:12:11.200 --> 00:12:14.720
it's<00:12:11.539><c> gonna</c><00:12:11.700><c> change</c><00:12:12.159><c> the</c><00:12:12.500><c> approach</c><00:12:12.799><c> that</c><00:12:13.039><c> we</c><00:12:13.240><c> use</c><00:12:13.460><c> with</c><00:12:13.659><c> each</c><00:12:13.899><c> other.</c>

00:12:14.940 --> 00:12:16.799
And<00:12:15.200><c> so</c><00:12:15.320><c> we've</c><00:12:15.539><c> seen</c><00:12:15.659><c> that</c><00:12:15.860><c> their</c><00:12:16.039><c> approach</c><00:12:16.379><c> to</c><00:12:16.639><c> sin</c>

00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:19.080
was<00:12:17.000><c> to</c><00:12:17.259><c> try</c><00:12:17.360><c> to</c><00:12:17.580><c> cover</c><00:12:17.720><c> up</c><00:12:17.940><c> and</c><00:12:18.220><c> hide.</c>

00:12:19.139 --> 00:12:21.200
And<00:12:19.379><c> we've</c><00:12:19.720><c> identified</c><00:12:20.100><c> that</c><00:12:20.360><c> God's</c><00:12:20.720><c> approach</c>

00:12:21.200 --> 00:12:23.159
was<00:12:21.779><c> to</c><00:12:22.019><c> ask</c><00:12:22.279><c> them</c><00:12:22.500><c> questions,</c>

00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:25.360
to<00:12:23.919><c> see</c><00:12:24.100><c> their</c><00:12:24.360><c> development</c>

00:12:25.460 --> 00:12:28.240
so<00:12:25.720><c> that</c><00:12:25.919><c> he</c><00:12:26.039><c> could</c><00:12:26.279><c> reconcile</c><00:12:26.820><c> them</c><00:12:27.039><c> to</c><00:12:27.240><c> himself.</c>

00:12:28.639 --> 00:12:31.799
And<00:12:28.840><c> now</c><00:12:28.980><c> we're</c><00:12:29.139><c> going</c><00:12:29.340><c> to</c><00:12:29.500><c> see</c><00:12:29.639><c> the</c><00:12:29.899><c> repentance</c><00:12:30.360><c> of</c><00:12:30.620><c> Adam</c><00:12:30.860><c> and</c><00:12:31.039><c> Eve.</c>

00:12:32.299 --> 00:12:36.039
Is<00:12:32.539><c> that</c><00:12:32.799><c> repentance</c><00:12:33.360><c> acceptable</c><00:12:34.100><c> or</c><00:12:35.220><c> not?</c>

00:12:36.820 --> 00:12:38.620
Now<00:12:37.019><c> there's</c><00:12:37.240><c> a</c><00:12:37.460><c> connection</c><00:12:37.720><c> as</c><00:12:38.000><c> we</c><00:12:38.259><c> see</c>

00:12:38.620 --> 00:12:41.600
as<00:12:39.200><c> we</c><00:12:39.419><c> go</c><00:12:39.639><c> through</c><00:12:39.940><c> some</c><00:12:40.179><c> of</c><00:12:40.299><c> these</c><00:12:40.539><c> slides.</c>

00:12:42.340 --> 00:12:43.960
We'll<00:12:42.500><c> see</c><00:12:42.620><c> that</c><00:12:42.740><c> there's</c><00:12:43.000><c> really</c><00:12:43.320><c> two</c><00:12:43.580><c> phases.</c>

00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.580
There's<00:12:44.320><c> kind</c><00:12:44.500><c> of</c><00:12:44.580><c> this</c><00:12:45.039><c> interrogation</c><00:12:45.799><c> or</c><00:12:46.120><c> questioning</c><00:12:46.580><c> phase.</c>

00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:49.559
And<00:12:47.899><c> then</c><00:12:48.000><c> there's</c><00:12:48.360><c> a</c><00:12:48.620><c> punishment</c><00:12:49.039><c> phase</c>

00:12:49.559 --> 00:12:52.639
for<00:12:50.039><c> what</c><00:12:50.240><c> happens</c><00:12:50.740><c> as</c><00:12:51.039><c> a</c><00:12:51.279><c> result</c><00:12:51.620><c> of</c><00:12:52.159><c> the</c><00:12:52.320><c> answers</c>

00:12:52.639 --> 00:12:54.220

00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.659
The<00:12:54.879><c> punishment</c><00:12:55.360><c> fits</c><00:12:56.019><c> the</c><00:12:56.379><c> crime.</c>

00:12:57.100 --> 00:12:59.620
And<00:12:57.360><c> we're</c><00:12:57.500><c> gonna</c><00:12:57.659><c> see</c><00:12:57.919><c> that</c><00:12:58.120><c> as</c><00:12:58.259><c> it</c><00:12:58.460><c> comes</c><00:12:58.659><c> forward.</c>

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.779
The<00:13:00.240><c> point</c><00:13:00.399><c> that</c><00:13:00.559><c> I'm</c><00:13:00.759><c> trying</c><00:13:00.960><c> to</c><00:13:01.220><c> make</c><00:13:01.379><c> here</c>

00:13:01.779 --> 00:13:03.580
is<00:13:02.220><c> that</c><00:13:02.360><c> it</c><00:13:02.539><c> wasn't</c><00:13:02.679><c> just</c><00:13:03.059><c> arbitrary</c>

00:13:03.580 --> 00:13:06.620
what<00:13:03.820><c> God</c><00:13:04.120><c> decides</c><00:13:04.620><c> to</c><00:13:04.960><c> assign</c><00:13:05.299><c> for</c><00:13:05.539><c> the</c><00:13:05.759><c> punishment.</c>

00:13:06.779 --> 00:13:10.840
It<00:13:07.120><c> fit</c><00:13:07.460><c> the</c><00:13:07.919><c> deficiencies</c><00:13:08.580><c> of</c><00:13:09.159><c> what</c><00:13:09.419><c> happens</c><00:13:09.799><c> in</c><00:13:10.039><c> the</c><00:13:10.240><c> first</c><00:13:10.500><c> half</c>

00:13:10.840 --> 00:13:12.919
when<00:13:11.120><c> he's</c><00:13:11.399><c> asking</c><00:13:11.700><c> the</c><00:13:12.000><c> questions.</c>

00:13:13.500 --> 00:13:15.360
And<00:13:13.899><c> God</c><00:13:14.200><c> in</c><00:13:14.360><c> his</c><00:13:14.659><c> mercy</c>

00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:18.480
allows<00:13:15.960><c> them</c><00:13:16.200><c> to</c><00:13:16.580><c> continue</c><00:13:16.860><c> living</c><00:13:17.159><c> for</c><00:13:17.539><c> a</c><00:13:17.700><c> time.</c>

00:13:18.539 --> 00:13:20.700
He<00:13:18.779><c> said,</c><00:13:19.059><c> in</c><00:13:19.080><c> the</c><00:13:19.320><c> day</c><00:13:19.580><c> that</c><00:13:19.799><c> thou</c><00:13:19.960><c> eatest</c><00:13:20.360><c> thereof,</c>

00:13:20.940 --> 00:13:22.620
dying<00:13:21.120><c> thou</c><00:13:21.320><c> shall</c><00:13:21.600><c> die.</c>

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:24.440
But<00:13:22.799><c> he</c><00:13:22.940><c> continues</c><00:13:23.519><c> to</c><00:13:23.759><c> let</c><00:13:23.879><c> them</c><00:13:24.120><c> live.</c>

00:13:24.679 --> 00:13:27.539
They<00:13:24.860><c> don't</c><00:13:25.100><c> escape</c><00:13:25.460><c> death,</c><00:13:26.639><c> but</c><00:13:26.799><c> it's</c><00:13:27.019><c> not</c><00:13:27.220><c> immediate.</c>

00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:30.799
He<00:13:27.840><c> allows</c><00:13:28.080><c> them</c><00:13:28.279><c> to</c><00:13:28.659><c> continue</c><00:13:28.879><c> to</c><00:13:29.120><c> live</c><00:13:29.220><c> that</c><00:13:29.379><c> they</c><00:13:29.559><c> might</c><00:13:29.820><c> develop.</c>

00:13:30.960 --> 00:13:34.179
So<00:13:31.159><c> let's</c><00:13:31.399><c> take</c><00:13:31.679><c> a</c><00:13:31.799><c> look</c><00:13:32.039><c> at</c><00:13:32.299><c> these</c><00:13:32.559><c> two</c><00:13:32.820><c> phases</c><00:13:33.159><c> together.</c>

00:13:34.259 --> 00:13:37.399
He<00:13:34.700><c> interrogates</c><00:13:35.200><c> first</c><00:13:35.580><c> of</c><00:13:35.759><c> all</c><00:13:35.879><c> in</c><00:13:36.100><c> order</c><00:13:36.340><c> of</c><00:13:36.720><c> responsibility,</c>

00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:41.179
starting<00:13:38.179><c> with</c><00:13:38.460><c> the</c><00:13:38.639><c> man</c><00:13:38.980><c> and</c><00:13:39.480><c> going</c><00:13:39.659><c> down</c><00:13:39.980><c> to</c><00:13:40.159><c> the</c><00:13:40.360><c> serpent.</c>

00:13:41.220 --> 00:13:42.940
And<00:13:41.419><c> then</c><00:13:41.539><c> the</c><00:13:41.759><c> punishment</c><00:13:42.139><c> is</c><00:13:42.460><c> meted</c><00:13:42.700><c> out</c>

00:13:42.940 --> 00:13:46.440
from<00:13:43.120><c> the</c><00:13:43.279><c> least</c><00:13:43.500><c> responsible</c><00:13:44.120><c> to</c><00:13:44.899><c> the</c><00:13:45.059><c> most</c><00:13:45.340><c> responsible.</c>

00:13:46.500 --> 00:13:47.980
So<00:13:46.759><c> when</c><00:13:46.940><c> we</c><00:13:47.139><c> take</c><00:13:47.320><c> a</c><00:13:47.419><c> look</c><00:13:47.519><c> at</c><00:13:47.679><c> the</c><00:13:47.860><c> man,</c>

00:13:48.080 --> 00:13:49.860
what<00:13:48.159><c> are</c><00:13:48.299><c> the</c><00:13:48.539><c> facts</c><00:13:48.840><c> that</c><00:13:49.039><c> we've</c><00:13:49.399><c> established</c>

00:13:49.860 --> 00:13:51.960
so<00:13:50.399><c> far</c><00:13:50.700><c> in</c><00:13:50.919><c> the</c><00:13:51.139><c> account?</c>

00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:55.799
Well,<00:13:52.500><c> the</c><00:13:52.639><c> man</c><00:13:52.820><c> was</c><00:13:53.120><c> responsible</c><00:13:53.840><c> to</c><00:13:54.360><c> teach</c><00:13:54.659><c> his</c><00:13:54.919><c> wife</c><00:13:55.220><c> the</c><00:13:55.480><c> law</c>

00:13:55.799 --> 00:13:59.519
and<00:13:56.259><c> to</c><00:13:56.460><c> teach</c><00:13:56.620><c> his</c><00:13:56.919><c> family</c><00:13:57.159><c> to</c><00:13:57.460><c> keep</c><00:13:57.720><c> or</c><00:13:57.960><c> to</c><00:13:58.240><c> guard</c><00:13:58.480><c> the</c><00:13:58.740><c> garden.</c>

00:13:59.740 --> 00:14:02.080
So<00:13:59.960><c> not</c><00:14:00.139><c> only</c><00:14:00.320><c> the</c><00:14:00.620><c> actual</c><00:14:00.960><c> commands,</c>

00:14:02.100 --> 00:14:04.179
but<00:14:02.259><c> the</c><00:14:02.580><c> significance</c><00:14:03.000><c> and</c><00:14:03.279><c> the</c><00:14:03.460><c> meaning</c><00:14:03.620><c> of</c><00:14:03.820><c> those</c><00:14:03.980><c> things</c>

00:14:04.179 --> 00:14:05.860
as<00:14:04.340><c> they</c><00:14:04.580><c> apply</c><00:14:04.799><c> to</c><00:14:05.039><c> life.</c>

00:14:06.159 --> 00:14:10.080
He<00:14:06.440><c> was</c><00:14:06.620><c> given</c><00:14:06.779><c> authority</c><00:14:07.299><c> over</c><00:14:07.620><c> creation</c><00:14:08.100><c> and</c><00:14:08.820><c> his</c><00:14:09.100><c> family.</c>

00:14:10.580 --> 00:14:13.039
But<00:14:10.820><c> he</c><00:14:11.019><c> seems</c><00:14:11.179><c> to</c><00:14:11.379><c> be</c><00:14:11.639><c> silent</c><00:14:11.980><c> during</c><00:14:12.240><c> the</c><00:14:12.539><c> exchange</c>

00:14:13.039 --> 00:14:15.679
between<00:14:13.480><c> the</c><00:14:13.639><c> woman</c><00:14:13.940><c> and</c><00:14:14.659><c> the</c><00:14:14.879><c> serpent.</c>

00:14:15.940 --> 00:14:18.539
He<00:14:16.220><c> seems</c><00:14:16.399><c> to</c><00:14:16.559><c> be</c><00:14:16.820><c> standing</c><00:14:17.039><c> next</c><00:14:17.299><c> to</c><00:14:17.500><c> his</c><00:14:17.659><c> wife,</c>

00:14:18.679 --> 00:14:21.279
not<00:14:18.899><c> really</c><00:14:19.259><c> participating,</c><00:14:20.259><c> not</c><00:14:20.440><c> really</c><00:14:20.759><c> stepping</c><00:14:21.039><c> up</c>

00:14:21.279 --> 00:14:24.899
and<00:14:21.460><c> taking</c><00:14:21.720><c> the</c><00:14:21.940><c> lead</c><00:14:22.240><c> when</c><00:14:22.940><c> his</c><00:14:23.179><c> wife</c><00:14:23.399><c> was</c><00:14:23.620><c> being</c><00:14:23.860><c> deceived.</c>

00:14:25.179 --> 00:14:28.559
And<00:14:25.379><c> he</c><00:14:25.500><c> wasn't</c><00:14:25.740><c> deceived</c><00:14:26.419><c> when</c><00:14:27.159><c> he</c><00:14:27.320><c> ate</c><00:14:27.460><c> the</c><00:14:27.720><c> tree.</c>

00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:31.940
And<00:14:29.139><c> so</c><00:14:29.240><c> he</c><00:14:29.399><c> seems</c><00:14:29.639><c> to</c><00:14:29.919><c> prefer</c><00:14:30.139><c> his</c><00:14:30.399><c> wife</c><00:14:30.759><c> over</c><00:14:31.039><c> God.</c>

00:14:32.539 --> 00:14:34.200
And<00:14:32.740><c> we've</c><00:14:32.980><c> seen</c><00:14:33.080><c> what</c><00:14:33.340><c> happened</c><00:14:33.580><c> post</c><00:14:34.019><c>-sin,</c>

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:36.419
that<00:14:34.539><c> he</c><00:14:34.700><c> tries</c><00:14:34.940><c> to</c><00:14:35.240><c> cover</c><00:14:35.399><c> his</c><00:14:35.679><c> sin</c><00:14:35.759><c> with</c><00:14:36.059><c> leaves.</c>

00:14:36.659 --> 00:14:39.279
He<00:14:36.879><c> hides</c><00:14:37.179><c> from</c><00:14:37.399><c> God</c><00:14:37.679><c> because</c><00:14:37.980><c> he's</c><00:14:38.259><c> afraid.</c>

00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:43.299
And<00:14:39.659><c> God</c><00:14:39.940><c> questions</c><00:14:40.360><c> him</c><00:14:40.700><c> first</c><00:14:41.059><c> because</c><00:14:41.500><c> he</c><00:14:42.039><c> was</c><00:14:42.279><c> the</c><00:14:42.480><c> guardian.</c>

00:14:43.340 --> 00:14:45.340
He<00:14:43.580><c> was</c><00:14:43.820><c> the</c><00:14:44.000><c> keeper</c><00:14:44.240><c> of</c><00:14:44.419><c> the</c><00:14:44.600><c> garden.</c>

00:14:46.799 --> 00:14:48.580
And<00:14:47.279><c> what</c><00:14:47.460><c> does</c><00:14:47.639><c> he</c><00:14:47.799><c> say?</c>

00:14:49.179 --> 00:14:50.779
Well,<00:14:49.360><c> he</c><00:14:49.580><c> indicts</c><00:14:49.980><c> the</c><00:14:50.120><c> woman</c><00:14:50.320><c> first.</c>

00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:54.000
The<00:14:51.419><c> first</c><00:14:51.679><c> thing</c><00:14:51.879><c> that</c><00:14:52.019><c> comes</c><00:14:52.279><c> out</c><00:14:52.500><c> of</c><00:14:52.620><c> his</c><00:14:52.860><c> mouth</c><00:14:53.259><c> is,</c>

00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:09.500
and<00:15:08.159><c> then</c><00:15:08.340><c> I</c><00:15:08.559><c> ate</c><00:15:08.679><c> it.</c>

00:15:09.620 --> 00:15:11.259
Now,<00:15:09.879><c> there's</c><00:15:10.100><c> something</c><00:15:10.379><c> significant</c><00:15:10.960><c> here</c>

00:15:11.259 --> 00:15:12.440
before<00:15:11.500><c> we</c><00:15:11.659><c> get</c><00:15:11.820><c> into</c><00:15:12.059><c> that,</c>

00:15:12.600 --> 00:15:14.899

00:15:15.379 --> 00:15:16.840
That's<00:15:15.820><c> very</c><00:15:16.059><c> important</c><00:15:16.460><c> to</c><00:15:16.679><c> mention.</c>

00:15:16.879 --> 00:15:18.779
He<00:15:17.019><c> never</c><00:15:17.299><c> denied</c><00:15:17.740><c> doing</c><00:15:17.980><c> the</c><00:15:18.200><c> wrong</c><00:15:18.399><c> thing,</c>

00:15:19.000 --> 00:15:21.120
but<00:15:19.159><c> he</c><00:15:19.340><c> kind</c><00:15:19.460><c> of</c><00:15:19.720><c> couches</c><00:15:20.000><c> it</c><00:15:20.360><c> in</c><00:15:20.480><c> a</c><00:15:20.659><c> certain</c><00:15:20.840><c> way</c>

00:15:21.120 --> 00:15:24.779
that<00:15:21.279><c> perhaps</c><00:15:21.820><c> it</c><00:15:22.360><c> doesn't</c><00:15:22.539><c> look</c><00:15:22.759><c> quite</c><00:15:22.919><c> as</c><00:15:23.179><c> bad</c><00:15:23.340><c> from</c><00:15:23.539><c> the</c><00:15:23.759><c> context.</c>

00:15:24.879 --> 00:15:26.980
Now,<00:15:25.039><c> some</c><00:15:25.240><c> people</c><00:15:25.480><c> will</c><00:15:25.700><c> say,</c><00:15:26.059><c> well,</c>

00:15:27.179 --> 00:15:29.720
Adam's<00:15:27.480><c> just</c><00:15:27.740><c> recounting</c><00:15:28.259><c> the</c><00:15:28.399><c> way</c><00:15:28.539><c> that</c><00:15:28.759><c> things</c><00:15:28.960><c> transpired.</c>

00:15:30.120 --> 00:15:31.220
The<00:15:30.320><c> woman</c><00:15:30.480><c> gave</c><00:15:30.740><c> him</c><00:15:30.860><c> the</c><00:15:31.059><c> fruit,</c>

00:15:31.419 --> 00:15:34.120
and<00:15:31.620><c> by</c><00:15:31.799><c> the</c><00:15:31.960><c> way,</c><00:15:32.159><c> God</c><00:15:32.340><c> had</c><00:15:32.559><c> given</c><00:15:32.700><c> him</c><00:15:33.059><c> the</c><00:15:33.279><c> woman,</c>

00:15:34.220 --> 00:15:36.840
and<00:15:34.659><c> he</c><00:15:35.100><c> ate</c><00:15:35.299><c> the</c><00:15:35.539><c> fruit</c><00:15:35.700><c> was</c><00:15:35.919><c> kind</c><00:15:36.120><c> of</c><00:15:36.220><c> the</c><00:15:36.379><c> last</c><00:15:36.659><c> step</c>

00:15:36.840 --> 00:15:38.120
in<00:15:36.960><c> the</c><00:15:37.179><c> process.</c>

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:41.639
But<00:15:38.519><c> once</c><00:15:38.779><c> again,</c><00:15:39.019><c> going</c><00:15:39.299><c> back</c><00:15:39.700><c> to</c><00:15:39.940><c> the</c><00:15:40.220><c> child</c><00:15:40.600><c> analogy,</c>

00:15:41.659 --> 00:15:43.799
because<00:15:41.860><c> I've</c><00:15:42.299><c> experienced</c><00:15:42.600><c> this</c><00:15:42.860><c> type</c><00:15:43.039><c> of</c><00:15:43.279><c> interrogation</c>

00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:46.940
in<00:15:43.879><c> my</c><00:15:44.200><c> family</c><00:15:44.759><c> of</c><00:15:45.340><c> questioning</c><00:15:45.759><c> the</c><00:15:46.059><c> kids,</c>

00:15:47.019 --> 00:15:49.159
of<00:15:47.139><c> there</c><00:15:47.240><c> was</c><00:15:47.419><c> a</c><00:15:47.559><c> certain</c><00:15:47.799><c> circumstance</c><00:15:48.480><c> of</c><00:15:48.700><c> where</c><00:15:48.820><c> he</c><00:15:49.000><c> said,</c>

00:15:49.259 --> 00:15:51.299
look,<00:15:49.460><c> no</c><00:15:49.720><c> more</c><00:15:49.919><c> candy</c><00:15:50.179><c> today,</c><00:15:50.620><c> guys.</c>

00:15:51.899 --> 00:15:53.000
So<00:15:52.159><c> a</c><00:15:52.259><c> couple</c><00:15:52.399><c> minutes</c><00:15:52.659><c> later,</c>

00:15:53.000 --> 00:15:55.000
I<00:15:53.139><c> find</c><00:15:53.320><c> a</c><00:15:53.580><c> Starburst</c><00:15:53.960><c> wrapper</c><00:15:54.259><c> on</c><00:15:54.419><c> the</c><00:15:54.620><c> floor,</c>

00:15:55.360 --> 00:15:58.659
and<00:15:55.500><c> so</c><00:15:55.639><c> I</c><00:15:55.820><c> ask</c><00:15:55.980><c> my</c><00:15:56.259><c> son,</c><00:15:56.759><c> hey,</c><00:15:57.080><c> did</c><00:15:57.240><c> you</c><00:15:57.379><c> eat</c><00:15:57.519><c> this</c><00:15:57.759><c> candy?</c>

00:15:59.120 --> 00:16:00.919
Kathleen<00:15:59.519><c> gave</c><00:15:59.759><c> it</c><00:15:59.919><c> to</c><00:16:00.019><c> me.</c>

00:16:01.059 --> 00:16:03.240
Right,<00:16:01.259><c> so</c><00:16:01.379><c> he</c><00:16:01.419><c> never</c><00:16:01.720><c> denies</c><00:16:02.120><c> doing</c><00:16:02.360><c> the</c><00:16:02.600><c> wrong</c><00:16:02.840><c> thing,</c>

00:16:03.480 --> 00:16:05.080
but<00:16:03.639><c> he</c><00:16:03.720><c> kind</c><00:16:03.840><c> of</c><00:16:04.080><c> points</c><00:16:04.240><c> the</c><00:16:04.440><c> finger</c><00:16:04.659><c> at</c><00:16:04.700><c> somebody</c><00:16:04.960><c> else.</c>

00:16:05.120 --> 00:16:06.600
In<00:16:05.259><c> fact,</c><00:16:05.399><c> I</c><00:16:05.460><c> don't</c><00:16:05.659><c> think</c><00:16:05.799><c> I've</c><00:16:05.980><c> ever</c><00:16:06.179><c> heard,</c>

00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:08.340
yes,<00:16:07.200><c> I</c><00:16:07.379><c> did</c><00:16:07.480><c> the</c><00:16:07.659><c> wrong</c><00:16:07.879><c> thing,</c><00:16:08.259><c> Dad.</c>

00:16:08.799 --> 00:16:10.539
There's<00:16:09.159><c> always</c><00:16:09.460><c> some</c><00:16:09.759><c> kind</c><00:16:09.899><c> of</c><00:16:10.120><c> reason</c>

00:16:10.539 --> 00:16:13.200
for<00:16:10.740><c> why</c><00:16:10.919><c> it</c><00:16:11.039><c> was</c><00:16:11.299><c> okay</c><00:16:11.600><c> to</c><00:16:11.779><c> do</c><00:16:11.899><c> the</c><00:16:12.080><c> wrong</c><00:16:12.320><c> thing.</c>

00:16:13.799 --> 00:16:15.500
And<00:16:14.120><c> I</c><00:16:14.259><c> think</c><00:16:14.379><c> we</c><00:16:14.539><c> do</c><00:16:14.679><c> the</c><00:16:14.840><c> same</c><00:16:15.059><c> thing,</c><00:16:15.299><c> don't</c><00:16:15.460><c> we?</c>

00:16:15.500 --> 00:16:17.960
This<00:16:15.679><c> isn't</c><00:16:15.879><c> something</c><00:16:16.159><c> that's</c><00:16:16.460><c> just</c><00:16:16.679><c> unique</c><00:16:16.919><c> to</c><00:16:17.179><c> kids.</c>

00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.820
Everybody's<00:16:19.120><c> situation</c><00:16:19.559><c> is</c><00:16:19.919><c> unique.</c>

00:16:20.879 --> 00:16:23.659
We<00:16:21.139><c> all</c><00:16:21.360><c> have</c><00:16:21.519><c> a</c><00:16:21.620><c> reason</c><00:16:22.019><c> for</c><00:16:22.259><c> why</c><00:16:22.460><c> it</c><00:16:22.620><c> was</c><00:16:22.919><c> okay</c><00:16:23.259><c> for</c><00:16:23.500><c> us</c>

00:16:23.659 --> 00:16:25.980
to<00:16:23.840><c> not</c><00:16:24.000><c> really</c><00:16:24.279><c> do</c><00:16:24.720><c> what</c><00:16:25.179><c> we</c><00:16:25.340><c> were</c><00:16:25.519><c> supposed</c><00:16:25.759><c> to</c><00:16:25.899><c> do</c>

00:16:27.519 --> 00:16:30.059
And<00:16:27.720><c> if</c><00:16:27.860><c> we</c><00:16:28.080><c> kind</c><00:16:28.139><c> of</c><00:16:28.399><c> stack</c><00:16:28.639><c> enough</c><00:16:28.879><c> things</c><00:16:29.179><c> out</c><00:16:29.480><c> in</c><00:16:29.700><c> front</c>

00:16:30.059 --> 00:16:32.460
of<00:16:30.559><c> where</c><00:16:30.700><c> we're</c><00:16:30.860><c> kind</c><00:16:31.080><c> of</c><00:16:31.340><c> the</c><00:16:31.580><c> last</c><00:16:31.840><c> rung</c><00:16:32.000><c> in</c><00:16:32.139><c> the</c><00:16:32.259><c> ladder</c>

00:16:35.779 --> 00:16:36.960
as<00:16:36.059><c> bad.</c>

00:16:38.240 --> 00:16:40.580
Well,<00:16:39.159><c> contrast</c><00:16:39.500><c> this</c><00:16:39.740><c> for</c><00:16:39.980><c> a</c><00:16:40.179><c> moment</c>

00:16:40.580 --> 00:16:44.539
with<00:16:41.299><c> the</c><00:16:41.460><c> way</c><00:16:41.879><c> that</c><00:16:42.200><c> David</c><00:16:42.820><c> acts</c><00:16:43.159><c> in</c><00:16:43.379><c> 2</c><00:16:43.580><c> Samuel</c><00:16:43.940><c> 12,</c>

00:17:03.539 --> 00:17:06.779

It<00:19:23.299><c> was</c><00:19:23.519><c> more</c><00:19:23.839><c> wise</c><00:19:24.099><c> than</c><00:19:24.319><c> any</c><00:19:24.599><c> of</c><00:19:24.759><c> the</c><00:19:24.880><c> other</c><00:19:25.079><c> creatures,</c>

00:19:26.359 --> 00:19:29.119
and<00:19:26.640><c> it</c><00:19:26.819><c> made</c><00:19:27.019><c> conclusions</c><00:19:27.579><c> based</c><00:19:27.940><c> on</c><00:19:28.119><c> its</c><00:19:28.299><c> own</c><00:19:28.559><c> experiences,</c>

00:19:29.119 --> 00:19:32.160
its<00:19:29.680><c> own</c><00:19:30.000><c> observations</c><00:19:30.700><c> of</c><00:19:30.900><c> what</c><00:19:31.180><c> it</c><00:19:31.460><c> thought</c><00:19:31.660><c> was</c><00:19:31.900><c> right</c>

00:19:32.160 --> 00:19:33.559
based<00:19:32.660><c> on</c><00:19:32.839><c> what</c><00:19:33.079><c> it</c><00:19:33.319><c> observed.</c>

00:19:33.619 --> 00:19:37.059
There<00:19:33.700><c> was</c><00:19:33.960><c> no</c><00:19:34.220><c> moral</c><00:19:34.440><c> capacity</c><00:19:35.099><c> to</c><00:19:35.660><c> be</c><00:19:35.859><c> able</c><00:19:36.039><c> to</c><00:19:36.259><c> make</c><00:19:36.500><c> decisions.</c>

00:19:37.519 --> 00:19:39.720
It<00:19:37.680><c> was</c><00:19:37.940><c> all</c><00:19:38.160><c> based</c><00:19:38.440><c> on</c><00:19:38.619><c> its</c><00:19:38.859><c> own</c><00:19:39.079><c> experience,</c>

00:19:39.819 --> 00:19:42.420
and<00:19:40.380><c> it</c><00:19:40.519><c> was</c><00:19:40.700><c> able</c><00:19:40.839><c> to</c><00:19:41.140><c> communicate</c><00:19:41.619><c> those</c><00:19:41.980><c> thoughts</c>

00:19:42.420 --> 00:19:44.180
through<00:19:43.200><c> speech.</c>

00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.440
So<00:19:45.359><c> what</c><00:19:45.519><c> does</c><00:19:45.740><c> it</c><00:19:45.900><c> do</c><00:19:46.319><c> post</c><00:19:46.700><c>-sin?</c>

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.740
Well,<00:19:48.220><c> it's</c><00:19:48.460><c> addressed</c><00:19:48.740><c> third,</c>

00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.359
but<00:19:50.440><c> there's</c><00:19:50.599><c> really</c><00:19:50.819><c> no</c><00:19:51.019><c> questions</c><00:19:51.420><c> asked.</c>

00:19:52.880 --> 00:19:55.680
God<00:19:53.119><c> moves</c><00:19:53.500><c> straight</c><00:19:54.059><c> from</c><00:19:54.319><c> the</c><00:19:54.579><c> interrogation</c><00:19:55.099><c> of</c><00:19:55.240><c> the</c><00:19:55.380><c> woman</c>

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:58.059
to<00:19:56.259><c> the</c><00:19:56.519><c> punishment</c><00:19:56.859><c> of</c><00:19:57.059><c> the</c><00:19:57.240><c> serpent.</c>

00:19:58.299 --> 00:20:00.880
Why<00:19:58.859><c> not</c><00:19:59.099><c> ask</c><00:19:59.319><c> the</c><00:19:59.539><c> serpent</c><00:19:59.740><c> questions?</c>

00:20:02.400 --> 00:20:06.559
Well,<00:20:03.460><c> it's</c><00:20:03.720><c> because</c><00:20:04.039><c> he</c><00:20:04.200><c> was</c><00:20:04.460><c> judged</c><00:20:04.759><c> based</c><00:20:05.140><c> on</c><00:20:05.299><c> his</c><00:20:05.539><c> actions,</c>

00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:08.180
not<00:20:06.859><c> his</c><00:20:07.160><c> intentions,</c>

00:20:08.579 --> 00:20:10.940
because<00:20:08.799><c> there</c><00:20:09.039><c> was</c><00:20:09.279><c> no</c><00:20:09.539><c> intention</c><00:20:09.920><c> there</c><00:20:10.180><c> of</c><00:20:10.339><c> good</c><00:20:10.500><c> or</c><00:20:10.660><c> evil.</c>

00:20:11.220 --> 00:20:13.759
He<00:20:11.420><c> was</c><00:20:11.660><c> merely</c><00:20:11.960><c> speaking</c><00:20:12.420><c> based</c><00:20:12.799><c> on</c><00:20:13.079><c> observation,</c>

00:20:14.059 --> 00:20:16.119
and<00:20:14.240><c> since</c><00:20:14.480><c> there</c><00:20:14.740><c> was</c><00:20:14.960><c> nothing</c><00:20:15.240><c> there</c><00:20:15.460><c> to</c><00:20:15.740><c> question</c>

00:20:16.119 --> 00:20:18.220
from<00:20:16.420><c> a</c><00:20:16.660><c> morality</c><00:20:17.079><c> standpoint,</c>

00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:19.859
God<00:20:18.440><c> moves</c><00:20:18.700><c> directly</c><00:20:19.259><c> forward</c>

00:20:19.859 --> 00:20:22.940
to<00:20:20.359><c> just</c><00:20:20.660><c> issuing</c><00:20:21.019><c> judgment</c><00:20:21.420><c> against</c><00:20:21.779><c> the</c><00:20:22.059><c> serpent.</c>

00:20:23.779 --> 00:20:26.460
And<00:20:24.059><c> that</c><00:20:24.240><c> helps</c><00:20:24.400><c> to</c><00:20:24.759><c> substantiate</c><00:20:25.359><c> what</c><00:20:25.539><c> we</c><00:20:25.720><c> were</c><00:20:25.880><c> saying</c><00:20:26.079><c> earlier,</c>

00:20:26.460 --> 00:20:29.500
that<00:20:26.599><c> if</c><00:20:26.759><c> there</c><00:20:27.019><c> was</c><00:20:27.339><c> some</c><00:20:27.640><c> moral</c><00:20:27.940><c> capacity</c><00:20:28.539><c> there,</c>

00:20:29.660 --> 00:20:31.039
then<00:20:29.839><c> he</c><00:20:29.920><c> would</c><00:20:30.119><c> have</c><00:20:30.240><c> been</c><00:20:30.519><c> questioned</c>

00:20:31.039 --> 00:20:34.440
just<00:20:31.819><c> as</c><00:20:32.160><c> Adam</c><00:20:32.420><c> and</c><00:20:32.859><c> just</c><00:20:33.140><c> as</c><00:20:33.440><c> Eve</c><00:20:33.599><c> were.</c>

00:20:34.519 --> 00:20:36.619
So<00:20:34.779><c> no</c><00:20:35.000><c> response</c><00:20:35.440><c> from</c><00:20:35.680><c> the</c><00:20:35.900><c> serpent</c>

00:20:36.819 --> 00:20:39.559
because<00:20:37.140><c> it</c><00:20:37.400><c> can't</c><00:20:37.700><c> comment</c><00:20:38.259><c> on</c><00:20:38.839><c> moral</c><00:20:39.059><c> things</c>

00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:41.900
because<00:20:40.119><c> it</c><00:20:40.359><c> has</c><00:20:40.559><c> no</c><00:20:40.799><c> capacity</c><00:20:41.319><c> for</c><00:20:41.599><c> it.</c>

00:20:42.259 --> 00:20:44.380
So<00:20:42.460><c> the</c><00:20:42.660><c> serpent</c><00:20:42.880><c> is</c><00:20:43.119><c> merely</c><00:20:43.400><c> judged,</c>

00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.920
no<00:20:44.900><c> question</c><00:20:45.420><c> because</c><00:20:46.279><c> no</c><00:20:46.579><c> moral</c><00:20:46.819><c> capacity.</c>

00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:51.359
Well,<00:20:48.839><c> what</c><00:20:49.039><c> about</c><00:20:49.619><c> the</c><00:20:50.059><c> serpent's</c><00:20:50.539><c> punishment?</c>

00:20:51.859 --> 00:20:54.799
We<00:20:52.140><c> read</c><00:20:52.299><c> that</c><00:20:52.460><c> it's</c><00:20:52.819><c> cursed</c><00:20:53.079><c> above</c><00:20:53.480><c> all</c><00:20:53.940><c> cattle,</c>

00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.200
that<00:20:55.359><c> it's</c><00:20:55.700><c> cursed</c><00:20:55.880><c> to</c><00:20:56.160><c> travel</c><00:20:56.440><c> on</c><00:20:56.619><c> its</c><00:20:56.900><c> belly</c>

00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:01.059
and<00:20:57.619><c> to</c><00:20:57.880><c> eat</c><00:20:58.119><c> dust</c><00:20:58.640><c> all</c><00:20:59.339><c> the</c><00:20:59.519><c> days</c><00:20:59.720><c> of</c><00:20:59.880><c> its</c><00:21:00.140><c> life.</c>

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:03.140
And<00:21:01.720><c> what</c><00:21:01.819><c> is</c><00:21:02.019><c> that</c><00:21:02.279><c> dust?</c>

00:21:03.779 --> 00:21:06.160
Well,<00:21:03.960><c> that's</c><00:21:04.140><c> what</c><00:21:04.240><c> man</c><00:21:04.539><c> refers</c><00:21:04.940><c> to,</c><00:21:05.920><c> isn't,</c>

00:21:06.640 --> 00:21:09.019
that<00:21:06.980><c> man</c><00:21:07.319><c> would</c><00:21:07.599><c> return</c><00:21:07.980><c> to</c><00:21:08.180><c> the</c><00:21:08.359><c> dust</c><00:21:08.579><c> of</c><00:21:08.819><c> the</c><00:21:08.900><c> earth.</c>

00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:12.339
And<00:21:09.240><c> so</c><00:21:09.339><c> the</c><00:21:09.619><c> serpent</c><00:21:09.940><c> is</c><00:21:10.579><c> eating</c><00:21:10.880><c> dust</c><00:21:11.299><c> all</c><00:21:11.559><c> the</c><00:21:11.720><c> days</c><00:21:11.880><c> of</c><00:21:12.039><c> his</c><00:21:12.240><c> life.</c>

00:21:12.500 --> 00:21:16.119
So<00:21:12.779><c> sin</c><00:21:13.319><c> consumes</c><00:21:14.299><c> those</c><00:21:15.200><c> who</c><00:21:15.420><c> give</c><00:21:15.579><c> into</c><00:21:15.819><c> it</c>

00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.240
and<00:21:16.259><c> those</c><00:21:16.539><c> who</c><00:21:16.700><c> prescribe</c><00:21:17.160><c> to</c><00:21:17.380><c> it.</c>

00:21:18.420 --> 00:21:21.000
And<00:21:18.700><c> there's</c><00:21:18.980><c> this</c><00:21:19.240><c> enmity</c><00:21:20.019><c> and</c><00:21:20.420><c> this</c><00:21:20.700><c> hatred</c>

00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:23.299
that's<00:21:21.460><c> discussed</c><00:21:21.880><c> in</c><00:21:22.460><c> verse</c><00:21:22.759><c> 15,</c>

00:21:23.299 --> 00:21:25.539
between<00:21:23.700><c> the</c><00:21:24.000><c> serpent</c><00:21:24.279><c> and</c><00:21:24.480><c> the</c><00:21:24.680><c> woman,</c>

00:21:25.680 --> 00:21:27.700

00:21:27.880 --> 00:21:31.500

00:21:31.740 --> 00:21:33.759
And<00:21:32.019><c> ultimately,</c><00:21:32.500><c> this</c><00:21:32.779><c> would</c><00:21:33.039><c> conclude</c>

00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:35.759
in<00:21:34.480><c> the</c><00:21:34.680><c> bruising</c><00:21:34.960><c> of</c><00:21:35.140><c> the</c><00:21:35.339><c> serpent's</c><00:21:35.700><c> head.</c>

00:21:35.779 --> 00:21:37.859
And<00:21:35.920><c> we</c><00:21:36.059><c> know</c><00:21:36.279><c> what</c><00:21:36.440><c> the</c><00:21:36.819><c> significance</c><00:21:37.140><c> of</c><00:21:37.359><c> that</c><00:21:37.519><c> is,</c>

00:21:38.140 --> 00:21:40.799

00:21:40.920 --> 00:21:42.839
It's<00:21:41.240><c> a</c><00:21:41.440><c> destructive</c><00:21:41.900><c> wound.</c>

00:21:43.480 --> 00:21:46.740

There's<00:25:12.460><c> not</c><00:25:12.619><c> a</c><00:25:12.720><c> lot</c><00:25:12.819><c> of</c><00:25:13.000><c> hope</c><00:25:13.200><c> contained</c>

00:25:16.579 --> 00:25:19.819
His<00:25:16.900><c> life</c><00:25:17.359><c> is</c><00:25:17.759><c> all</c><00:25:18.039><c> based</c><00:25:18.400><c> around</c><00:25:18.680><c> the</c><00:25:18.940><c> dust.</c>

00:25:23.359 --> 00:25:28.119

The<00:25:32.960><c> ground</c><00:25:33.259><c> was</c><00:25:33.660><c> inescapable</c><00:25:34.400><c> for</c><00:25:34.640><c> Adam,</c>

And<00:27:05.059><c> there</c><00:27:05.200><c> was</c><00:27:05.359><c> the</c><00:27:05.640><c> assurance,</c>

that<00:27:27.200><c> sorrow</c><00:27:27.700><c> would</c><00:27:27.920><c> be</c><00:27:28.119><c> the</c><00:27:28.339><c> result</c><00:27:28.720><c> of</c><00:27:29.160><c> what</c><00:27:29.359><c> had</c><00:27:29.599><c> happened.</c>

00:27:30.480 --> 00:27:32.400
She<00:27:30.740><c> sought</c><00:27:31.059><c> equality</c><00:27:31.539><c> with</c><00:27:31.799><c> God</c>

00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:35.140

00:27:41.680 --> 00:27:43.920
And<00:27:41.880><c> she</c><00:27:42.559><c> sought</c><00:27:42.819><c> independence</c><00:27:43.420><c> from</c><00:27:43.660><c> God</c>

00:27:43.920 --> 00:27:46.900

00:27:50.140 --> 00:27:52.240
And<00:27:50.400><c> now</c><00:27:50.599><c> it's</c><00:27:50.940><c> reinforced</c><00:27:51.500><c> with</c><00:27:51.700><c> her</c>

00:27:52.240 --> 00:27:56.140
that<00:27:52.599><c> she</c><00:27:52.759><c> would</c><00:27:52.940><c> be</c><00:27:53.200><c> totally</c><00:27:53.559><c> dependent</c><00:27:54.099><c> on</c><00:27:54.940><c> God</c><00:27:55.200><c> for</c><00:27:55.500><c> salvation</c>

00:27:56.140 --> 00:27:59.180
through<00:27:56.700><c> the</c><00:27:56.940><c> seed</c><00:27:57.079><c> of</c><00:27:57.279><c> the</c><00:27:57.420><c> woman</c><00:27:57.640><c> that</c><00:27:57.819><c> was</c><00:27:58.019><c> to</c><00:27:58.259><c> come.</c>

00:27:59.299 --> 00:28:03.160
And<00:27:59.859><c> the</c><00:28:00.059><c> serpent</c><00:28:00.559><c> was</c><00:28:01.359><c> opposing</c><00:28:01.819><c> instead</c><00:28:02.579><c> of</c><00:28:02.819><c> observing.</c>

00:28:03.460 --> 00:28:06.680

00:28:10.779 --> 00:28:13.200

00:28:18.339 --> 00:28:21.740
but<00:28:18.500><c> now</c><00:28:18.839><c> he's</c><00:28:19.099><c> doomed</c><00:28:19.319><c> to</c><00:28:19.519><c> eat</c><00:28:19.720><c> dust</c><00:28:20.180><c> on</c><00:28:20.640><c> his</c><00:28:20.920><c> belly.</c>

And<00:28:22.500><c> the</c><00:28:22.640><c> lesson</c><00:28:22.880><c> that</c><00:28:23.160><c> comes</c><00:28:23.619><c> from</c><00:28:23.980><c> all</c><00:28:24.180><c> of</c><00:28:24.339><c> this</c>

00:28:24.700 --> 00:28:28.240

00:28:28.279 --> 00:28:31.279
That<00:28:28.539><c> good</c><00:28:28.819><c> comes</c><00:28:29.160><c> from</c><00:28:29.480><c> following</c><00:28:29.839><c> God's</c><00:28:30.339><c> commands.</c>

00:28:31.579 --> 00:28:33.500

00:28:40.099 --> 00:28:42.640
And<00:28:40.220><c> that's</c><00:28:40.480><c> really</c><00:28:40.740><c> a</c><00:28:41.019><c> sad</c><00:28:41.240><c> position</c><00:28:41.740><c> to</c><00:28:41.980><c> be</c><00:28:42.160><c> in,</c>

that<00:37:50.840><c> went</c><00:37:51.000><c> into</c><00:37:51.320><c> the</c><00:37:51.480><c> Garden</c><00:37:51.760><c> of</c><00:37:52.019><c> Eden,</c>

00:37:53.519 --> 00:37:55.239
destroyed<00:37:53.860><c> in</c><00:37:54.039><c> an</c><00:37:54.300><c> instant.</c>

00:37:56.400 --> 00:37:59.480
And<00:37:56.539><c> it</c><00:37:56.619><c> was</c><00:37:56.760><c> just</c><00:37:56.940><c> a</c><00:37:56.960><c> very</c><00:37:57.420><c> small</c><00:37:57.619><c> insight</c><00:37:58.019><c> for</c><00:37:58.239><c> me</c>

00:37:59.619 --> 00:38:02.159
on<00:38:00.139><c> what</c><00:38:00.300><c> God</c><00:38:00.559><c> must</c><00:38:00.780><c> have</c><00:38:00.920><c> been</c><00:38:01.079><c> going</c><00:38:01.239><c> through</c><00:38:01.460><c> when</c><00:38:01.579><c> that</c><00:38:01.780><c> happened.</c>

00:38:02.500 --> 00:38:04.920
And<00:38:02.619><c> isn't</c><00:38:02.880><c> it</c><00:38:03.159><c> amazing</c><00:38:03.460><c> the</c><00:38:03.599><c> way</c><00:38:03.760><c> that</c><00:38:03.980><c> God</c><00:38:04.219><c> designs</c><00:38:04.679><c> things</c>

00:38:04.920 --> 00:38:07.179
so<00:38:05.099><c> that</c><00:38:05.219><c> we</c><00:38:05.320><c> can</c><00:38:05.519><c> gain</c><00:38:05.719><c> small</c><00:38:06.119><c> insights</c>

00:38:07.219 --> 00:38:09.219
into<00:38:07.739><c> his</c><00:38:08.039><c> feelings</c><00:38:08.280><c> and</c><00:38:08.480><c> his</c><00:38:08.739><c> motions</c>

00:38:09.219 --> 00:38:12.460
and<00:38:09.360><c> what</c><00:38:09.539><c> he</c><00:38:09.780><c> goes</c><00:38:10.059><c> through</c><00:38:10.460><c> when</c><00:38:10.840><c> dealing</c><00:38:11.119><c> with</c><00:38:11.360><c> us?</c>

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:17.019
All<00:38:13.860><c> that</c><00:38:14.219><c> time</c><00:38:15.139><c> gone</c><00:38:15.739><c> in</c><00:38:15.900><c> an</c><00:38:16.099><c> instant.</c>

00:38:18.659 --> 00:38:22.820
It's<00:38:18.980><c> not</c><00:38:19.219><c> a</c><00:38:19.539><c> small</c><00:38:19.739><c> thing</c><00:38:20.420><c> when</c><00:38:21.099><c> we</c><00:38:21.340><c> sin</c><00:38:21.440><c> against</c><00:38:21.800><c> God.</c>

00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:25.500
Sometimes<00:38:24.320><c> we</c><00:38:24.639><c> convince</c><00:38:25.059><c> ourselves</c>

00:38:25.500 --> 00:38:27.780
that<00:38:25.699><c> it's</c><00:38:25.940><c> not</c><00:38:26.139><c> such</c><00:38:26.360><c> a</c><00:38:26.500><c> big</c><00:38:26.699><c> deal,</c>

00:38:27.880 --> 00:38:30.079
that<00:38:27.960><c> you</c><00:38:28.059><c> know</c><00:38:28.219><c> what,</c><00:38:28.380><c> we</c><00:38:28.519><c> can</c><00:38:28.800><c> have</c><00:38:29.039><c> forgiveness.</c>

00:38:31.239 --> 00:38:35.300
But<00:38:31.539><c> this</c><00:38:31.800><c> revealed</c><00:38:32.179><c> to</c><00:38:32.440><c> me,</c><00:38:33.420><c> and</c><00:38:33.659><c> reinforced</c><00:38:34.199><c> the</c><00:38:34.500><c> fact</c>

00:38:35.500 --> 00:38:39.139
that<00:38:35.800><c> it's</c><00:38:36.079><c> a</c><00:38:36.179><c> very</c><00:38:36.420><c> big</c><00:38:36.619><c> deal</c><00:38:37.039><c> when</c><00:38:37.920><c> we</c><00:38:38.139><c> sin</c><00:38:38.260><c> against</c><00:38:38.599><c> God.</c>

00:38:39.420 --> 00:38:41.179
Because<00:38:39.780><c> we</c><00:38:40.000><c> take</c><00:38:40.300><c> all</c><00:38:40.679><c> of</c><00:38:40.840><c> the</c><00:38:41.000><c> things</c>

00:38:41.179 --> 00:38:43.519
that<00:38:41.360><c> God's</c><00:38:41.900><c> established</c><00:38:42.239><c> in</c><00:38:42.519><c> creation</c>

00:38:43.639 --> 00:38:46.320
and<00:38:44.159><c> we</c><00:38:44.340><c> toss</c><00:38:44.519><c> them</c><00:38:44.659><c> out</c><00:38:44.820><c> the</c><00:38:44.940><c> window</c><00:38:45.179><c> when</c><00:38:45.380><c> we</c><00:38:45.599><c> sin.</c>

00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:48.960
In<00:38:47.280><c> fact,</c><00:38:47.800><c> Hebrews</c><00:38:48.139><c> six</c><00:38:48.440><c> tells</c><00:38:48.719><c> us</c>

00:38:48.960 --> 00:38:52.019
that<00:38:49.119><c> if</c><00:38:49.260><c> we</c><00:38:49.719><c> consciously</c><00:38:50.159><c> go</c><00:38:50.440><c> down</c><00:38:50.659><c> the</c><00:38:50.900><c> path</c>

00:38:52.059 --> 00:38:54.719
of<00:38:52.360><c> sinning</c><00:38:52.699><c> against</c><00:38:52.980><c> God</c><00:38:53.179><c> and</c><00:38:53.360><c> we</c><00:38:53.719><c> consciously</c><00:38:54.159><c> turn</c><00:38:54.480><c> away</c>

00:38:54.719 --> 00:38:58.380
after<00:38:54.980><c> we</c><00:38:55.280><c> understand,</c><00:38:56.940><c> it's</c><00:38:57.300><c> like</c><00:38:57.460><c> we've</c><00:38:57.920><c> crucified</c>

00:38:58.380 --> 00:39:00.139
the<00:38:58.659><c> Son</c><00:38:58.800><c> of</c><00:38:59.000><c> God</c><00:38:59.179><c> afresh.</c>

00:39:01.119 --> 00:39:03.019
Think<00:39:01.400><c> about</c><00:39:01.659><c> that</c><00:39:01.860><c> for</c><00:39:02.099><c> a</c><00:39:02.280><c> moment.</c>

00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:05.119
Now<00:39:03.940><c> he's</c><00:39:04.159><c> not</c><00:39:04.340><c> talking</c><00:39:04.599><c> about</c><00:39:04.840><c> people</c>

00:39:05.119 --> 00:39:06.900
that<00:39:05.400><c> make</c><00:39:05.539><c> mistakes</c><00:39:06.019><c> and</c><00:39:06.199><c> that</c><00:39:06.400><c> return</c><00:39:06.639><c> to</c><00:39:06.780><c> him.</c>

00:39:07.000 --> 00:39:09.739
He's<00:39:07.440><c> talking</c><00:39:07.639><c> about</c><00:39:07.900><c> people</c><00:39:08.159><c> who</c><00:39:08.460><c> make</c><00:39:08.639><c> a</c><00:39:08.980><c> deliberate</c><00:39:09.260><c> decision</c>

00:39:09.739 --> 00:39:11.420
to<00:39:09.980><c> do</c><00:39:10.099><c> the</c><00:39:10.280><c> wrong</c><00:39:10.480><c> thing.</c>

00:39:12.059 --> 00:39:14.820
The<00:39:12.539><c> point</c><00:39:12.820><c> is</c><00:39:13.039><c> that</c><00:39:13.179><c> it's</c><00:39:13.420><c> a</c><00:39:13.460><c> real</c><00:39:13.699><c> big</c><00:39:13.940><c> deal.</c>

00:39:15.760 --> 00:39:18.219
But<00:39:15.880><c> God</c><00:39:16.059><c> wants</c><00:39:16.360><c> us</c><00:39:16.619><c> to</c><00:39:16.780><c> return</c><00:39:17.079><c> to</c><00:39:17.239><c> him.</c>

00:39:18.260 --> 00:39:21.420
And<00:39:18.480><c> he's</c><00:39:18.780><c> provided</c><00:39:19.139><c> a</c><00:39:19.280><c> way</c><00:39:19.440><c> of</c><00:39:19.679><c> salvation</c><00:39:20.239><c> back,</c><00:39:20.800><c> hasn't</c><00:39:20.940><c> he?</c>

00:39:21.659 --> 00:39:23.440
Through<00:39:21.860><c> the</c><00:39:22.059><c> work</c><00:39:22.199><c> of</c><00:39:22.400><c> his</c><00:39:22.579><c> son.</c>

00:39:24.079 --> 00:39:27.000
And<00:39:24.360><c> there's</c><00:39:24.599><c> a</c><00:39:24.719><c> way</c><00:39:24.880><c> that</c><00:39:25.079><c> we</c><00:39:25.179><c> can</c><00:39:25.380><c> be</c><00:39:25.659><c> included</c><00:39:25.940><c> in</c><00:39:26.179><c> that.</c>

00:39:27.039 --> 00:39:31.260
And<00:39:27.219><c> the</c><00:39:27.340><c> way</c><00:39:27.559><c> that</c><00:39:27.780><c> we</c><00:39:28.099><c> can</c><00:39:28.280><c> be</c><00:39:28.480><c> included</c><00:39:29.079><c> is</c><00:39:30.000><c> through</c><00:39:30.219><c> baptism.</c>

00:39:32.780 --> 00:39:34.960
Young<00:39:33.019><c> people,</c><00:39:33.280><c> if</c><00:39:33.400><c> you're</c><00:39:33.599><c> not</c><00:39:33.860><c> baptized,</c>

00:39:35.719 --> 00:39:38.719

00:39:38.780 --> 00:39:40.840
I'm<00:39:38.980><c> not</c><00:39:39.179><c> saying</c><00:39:39.420><c> that</c><00:39:39.840><c> everybody</c><00:39:40.159><c> here</c><00:39:40.420><c> right</c><00:39:40.639><c> now</c>

00:39:47.260 --> 00:39:49.300
There<00:39:47.480><c> may</c><00:39:47.699><c> be</c><00:39:47.940><c> very</c><00:39:48.260><c> valid</c><00:39:48.539><c> reasons</c><00:39:48.960><c> right</c><00:39:49.179><c> now,</c>

Because<00:39:56.639><c> there's</c><00:39:56.960><c> one</c><00:39:57.280><c> pathway</c><00:39:57.599><c> back.</c>

00:39:58.460 --> 00:40:00.639
Adam<00:39:58.760><c> and</c><00:39:58.940><c> Eve</c><00:39:59.079><c> were</c><00:39:59.320><c> taught</c><00:39:59.460><c> it's</c><00:39:59.679><c> not</c><00:39:59.820><c> through</c><00:40:00.119><c> fig</c><00:40:00.320><c> leaves,</c>

00:40:01.019 --> 00:40:02.320

it's<00:40:03.099><c> gonna</c><00:40:03.219><c> be</c><00:40:03.400><c> through</c><00:40:03.639><c> sacrifice.</c>

00:40:05.280 --> 00:40:08.340
And<00:40:05.440><c> it's</c><00:40:05.619><c> gonna</c><00:40:05.739><c> be</c><00:40:05.920><c> through</c><00:40:06.119><c> the</c><00:40:06.280><c> Lord</c><00:40:06.440><c> Jesus</c><00:40:06.800><c> Christ</c><00:40:07.199><c> as</c><00:40:07.440><c> we</c><00:40:07.659><c> know.</c>

00:42:56.460 --> 00:42:59.400
We<00:42:56.719><c> can't</c><00:42:57.039><c> just</c><00:42:57.300><c> focus</c><00:42:57.699><c> on</c><00:42:57.900><c> the</c><00:42:58.019><c> things</c><00:42:58.139><c> that</c><00:42:58.300><c> we</c><00:42:58.440><c> can't</c><00:42:58.840><c> do,</c>

00:43:06.079 --> 00:43:09.079
The<00:43:06.300><c> thinking</c><00:43:06.519><c> of</c><00:43:06.739><c> the</c><00:43:06.980><c> flesh</c><00:43:07.199><c> seems</c><00:43:07.679><c> reasonable,</c>

00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:18.059

00:43:48.260 --> 00:43:49.820

00:43:52.500 --> 00:43:54.139

00:45:18.079 --> 00:45:20.800
And<00:45:18.380><c> so</c><00:45:18.599><c> now</c><00:45:18.820><c> we've</c><00:45:19.139><c> identified</c><00:45:19.559><c> the</c><00:45:19.860><c> principles</c>

00:45:20.840 --> 00:45:23.539
and<00:45:21.320><c> we</c><00:45:21.460><c> have</c><00:45:21.639><c> to</c><00:45:21.760><c> move</c><00:45:21.980><c> forward</c><00:45:22.280><c> and</c><00:45:22.480><c> apply</c><00:45:22.719><c> the</c><00:45:23.000><c> exhortations</c>

00:45:26.139 --> 00:45:29.300
And<00:45:26.380><c> we're</c><00:45:26.500><c> gonna</c><00:45:26.599><c> see</c><00:45:26.840><c> how</c><00:45:27.079><c> those</c><00:45:27.480><c> principles</c><00:45:27.960><c> are</c><00:45:28.340><c> applied</c>

00:45:29.300 --> 00:45:32.579

00:45:33.079 --> 00:45:35.659
It<00:45:33.260><c> may</c><00:45:33.480><c> seem</c><00:45:33.679><c> like</c><00:45:33.920><c> the</c><00:45:34.099><c> end</c><00:45:34.219><c> here</c><00:45:34.420><c> in</c><00:45:34.599><c> Genesis</c><00:45:34.960><c> chapter</c><00:45:35.340><c> three</c>

00:45:35.659 --> 00:45:37.400
as<00:45:35.800><c> they're</c><00:45:36.199><c> expelled</c><00:45:36.539><c> from</c><00:45:36.780><c> the</c><00:45:37.019><c> garden</c>

00:45:41.619 --> 00:45:43.420
It's<00:45:41.900><c> just</c><00:45:42.139><c> the</c><00:45:42.360><c> beginning</c><00:45:42.639><c> for</c><00:45:42.880><c> Adam</c><00:45:43.119><c> and</c><00:45:43.300><c> Eve</c>

00:45:43.420 --> 00:45:46.159

00:45:46.159 --> 00:45:48.340
as<00:45:46.699><c> they</c><00:45:46.900><c> now</c><00:45:47.199><c> struggle</c><00:45:47.599><c> against</c><00:45:47.980><c> sin,</c>

00:45:48.780 --> 00:45:51.679
a<00:45:48.920><c> victory</c><00:45:49.159><c> that</c><00:45:49.320><c> they</c><00:45:49.460><c> would</c><00:45:49.679><c> never</c><00:45:49.940><c> have</c><00:45:50.199><c> of</c><00:45:50.340><c> their</c><00:45:50.559><c> own</c><00:45:50.760><c> ability,</c>

00:45:51.960 --> 00:45:54.320

00:45:56.679 --> 00:45:59.579
So<00:45:56.920><c> we'll</c><00:45:57.119><c> see</c><00:45:57.239><c> the</c><00:45:57.440><c> germination</c><00:45:57.900><c> of</c><00:45:58.119><c> those</c><00:45:58.360><c> two</c><00:45:58.659><c> seeds</c>

00:46:03.539 --> 00:46:05.019
how<00:46:03.699><c> they</c><00:46:03.940><c> oppose</c><00:46:04.260><c> each</c><00:46:04.519><c> other,</c>
